What is the New Hampshire Sales Tax Rate?
New Hampshire’s statewide sales tax rate is 0%—and it’s been that way for years. The state has consistently resisted adding a sales tax on goods and services, making it a rare holdout in an increasingly taxed nation. Even better? No local municipalities are allowed to add their own sales tax, so the rate holds steady across every city and county. That means from Nashua to North Conway, retail transactions remain untouched by any form of sales tax.
How to Calculate Sales Tax in New Hampshire
Calculating New Hampshire sales tax might be the easiest math you’ll ever do. But here’s the breakdown anyway:
Multiply the Purchase Amount by the Sales Tax Rate to get the Sales Tax Amount.
Add the Sales Tax Amount to the Purchase Amount to find the Total Cost
You can use these formulas or use our calculator for a faster answer.
Sales Tax = Purchase Amount × Sales Tax Rate
Total Cost = Purchase Amount + Sales Tax
