Worked example
The scenario
A New Hampshire homeowner earning $75,000 (single filer) with a $400,000 house, $4,000 a year of restaurant meals, $10,000 of dividends, and 12,000 miles of driving at 25 mpg.
The result
Wages net about $61,593 after federal tax and FICA, and since 2025 the dividends owe no state tax either. Before that, the Interest & Dividends tax at its last 3% rate could have taken up to $300 of them, less its exemption. Ordinary shopping is untaxed, because New Hampshire has no general sales tax, but the $4,000 of restaurant meals carries $340 at the 8.5% meals and rooms tax. Fuel adds $107 at 22.2¢ a gallon. The house is the big bill: at 1.93%, one of the highest median effective property tax rates in the nation (Tax Foundation, 2024), it owes about $7,720 a year, more than every other state or local tax here combined.
