Limitations
Enter gross pay for one pay period, federal W-4 adjustments, and the state details shown above. Federal withholding follows Publication 15-T and FICA applies to current and year-to-date wages. New Hampshire income tax on reported W-2 wages is zero, and RSA 282-A:69 prohibits deducting employer unemployment contributions from employee wages. NH PFML is voluntary insurance: when selected, WageFrame includes the exact post-tax premium entered from the employer or pay statement rather than inventing a statewide rate.
Example: A New Hampshire paycheck can still include federal income tax and FICA. If the pay statement separately shows a $12.34 NH PFML post-tax insurance premium, selecting that option adds exactly $12.34; leaving it unselected adds no PFML deduction. The calculator does not assume any unentered benefit deduction or invent a tax result.
Weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, and monthly are the supported paycheck frequencies. “Annual salary” is an earnings input and the annual view is a simple period multiplication; neither is an annual payroll-period method. The special Form W-4 adjustment for nonresident aliens is not modeled.
Does New Hampshire withhold state income tax? New Hampshire does not tax reported W-2 wages, and employer unemployment contributions cannot be taken from employee wages. NH PFML is voluntary insurance with a contract-specific post-tax premium, so WageFrame includes it only when the employee enters the exact amount shown by the employer or pay statement.
