What is the New Hampshire income tax rate for 2026?

How can I increase my take-home pay?

Pre-tax contributions such as a traditional 401(k) or HSA lower your taxable income, but they also reduce the cash that reaches your bank account today. Health premiums under a Section 125 plan can reduce both income tax and FICA.
