New Hampshire vs another state — Considering New Hampshire

Type wages, a home value, yearly taxable spending, and any long-term capital gains.
The page lines New Hampshire up next to another state using 2026 income tax, a property-tax figure, a sales-tax figure, and a capital-gains figure.
Rough number, not a tax return.
This page is household income, property, sales, and gains. It does not include Business Profits Tax or Business Enterprise Tax. Those are on Why NH — Starting a business.

Income

Treated as wages (AGI), not a full return.
When the Tax Foundation lists a dollar standard deduction or personal exemption for that filing status, it is subtracted.
Brackets are applied as published: each slice of income gets that slice’s rate.
A few states list a first threshold above $0 (Idaho, North Dakota, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Missouri, Delaware). Income below that slice is 0%.
States listed “none” have $0 income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Wyoming.
New Hampshire has no individual income tax. The old tax on interest and dividends is gone for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025.

For other states (and for New Hampshire if you leave the town blank): home value times the statewide average effective rate. That’s property taxes paid as a percent of owner-occupied home value, calendar year 2024 (Census survey / Tax Foundation Facts & Figures 2026, Table 33).
If you pick an NH town with a 2024 DRA full-value rate (the state’s apples-to-apples number), the property line is home ÷ 1,000 × that rate, the same $500,000 example as the map.
If the state lists the place as N/A, the page says so and falls back to 1.50%.

Yearly spending you typed times the Tax Foundation combined state-plus-local rate as of July 1, 2026.
Combined is a population-weighted average local rate, not your ZIP. New Hampshire is $0.
The meals and rooms tax is not a general sales tax and is not in this number.

States with no individual income tax are $0.
Washington taxes only high-earner capital gains, using the published brackets and $278,000 standard deduction in the 2026 income-tax table (7%, then 9% after $1 million).
Missouri exempts capital gains from its income tax (Tax Foundation 2026). Wages still use the ordinary brackets.
Every other wage state stacks gains as ordinary income: tax(wages + gains) minus tax(wages). Maryland’s 2% capital-gains surtax (a footnote) is skipped.

Credits are skipped (California’s personal credit, Utah’s standard-deduction credit, exemption credits in Arkansas, Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, and Oregon, and listed dependent credits). Those states may run a bit high on income.
No federal tax, Social Security/Medicare (FICA), gas, estate, or meals-and-rooms tax is in the dollar figure.

Your % is this page’s four-line total divided by the wages you typed. It is not the Tax Foundation burden number.
The 2022 TF column is Tax Foundation’s published state-and-local tax burden as a share of state income, calendar year 2022 (Facts & Figures 2026, Table 2). New Hampshire is 9.6%. The U.S. figure is 11.2%. Different year, different method. It is not mixed into the dollar total.
Back-of-the-envelope from the published tables, not your actual bill. Phaseouts, itemizing, dependents, and recapture rules are not modeled.
Property for other states is a statewide average, not your county.
Sales is the average combined rate on the spending you typed, not groceries versus everything, and not your ZIP.
Credits and local income tax (New York City, Maryland counties, and others) are still skipped. Tax Foundation footnote (a) excludes local income taxes.
If you pick an NH town, property uses the 2024 DRA full-value rate, the state’s apples-to-apples number. Your actual bill still uses the town’s own assessment.
Washington’s wage estimate is $0. Maryland’s 2% capital-gains surtax is not in the figure.
