Understanding Your New Hampshire Paycheck

Your employer calculates how much to withhold for federal income taxes based on the information you provide on Form W-4. You need to fill out a new W-4 when you start a new job or if you have significant life changes, like getting married, or if you want to adjust your withholdings.

The IRS has updated the W-4 form recently. The new form eliminates allowances and personal or dependency exemptions. It now includes a five-step process where you enter personal details, claim dependents, and indicate any extra income or jobs.

If you want to manage your tax bill better, you can request additional withholding from your paycheck. For example, if you want to withhold an extra $20 from each paycheck to better cover your tax liability, you can specify this amount on the W-4 form.

Contributions to retirement accounts like 401(k)s or 403(b)s, and to health savings accounts (HSAs) or flexible spending accounts (FSAs), are deducted from your pay. These contributions are pre-tax, which means they reduce your taxable income and can save you money on taxes. Premiums for employer-sponsored health or life insurance may also be deducted pre-tax, so check your plan details to confirm.

Also, consider how often you get paid. If you receive a paycheck weekly or bi-weekly, each paycheck will be smaller than if you are paid monthly. While the total amount you earn remains the same, more frequent pay periods can make monthly budgeting a bit more challenging.

How You Can Affect Your New Hampshire Paycheck

If you often owe money when you file your taxes, you can fix this by having your employer withhold an extra dollar amount from each paycheck.

Another way to lower your taxable income is to increase your contributions to a 401(k) or another retirement account. By doing this, you’ll save more for the future and reduce your taxable income because the money you put into these accounts is deducted from your paycheck before taxes are taken out. Even though New Hampshire doesn’t have state income taxes, you can still save on federal taxes this way.

You can also contribute more to an HSA or FSA if your employer offers these accounts. Note that FSAs have a limit on how much can roll over from one year to the next—$610 from 2023 to 2024, and $640 for 2024 to 2025. If you don’t use the money in your FSA by the end of the year, you could lose it.

If you usually get a large tax refund, you might be overpaying throughout the year. In that case, adjusting your withholding could help you keep more money in your paycheck and avoid giving the government an interest-free loan.
