How New Hampshire sales tax works
New Hampshire is one of five states with no statewide sales tax. The state rate is 0%, so the only tax that can apply to a sale is local, and New Hampshire has no local sales taxes either, so a sale into the state carries no sales tax at all.
That combined rate ranks New Hampshire number 50 of 51 US jurisdictions, 6.57% below the national average of 6.57%.
The major cities in New Hampshire all sit at 0%, so the rate does not move much by address within the state.
New Hampshire has no economic nexus threshold to cross because it levies no statewide sales tax, though local jurisdictions may have their own registration rules.
Rates below are the published 2026 figures. Local rates change more often than state rates, so verify with the New Hampshire revenue authority for a transaction of any size, and remember that the rate is only one input: whether the product is taxable at all, and whether shipping is taxable, both vary by state.
New Hampshire sales tax questions
What is the sales tax rate in New Hampshire?

How do I work out sales tax backwards from a total?
Divide the tax-inclusive total by one plus the combined rate to recover the pre-tax price, then subtract. At 0% you divide by 1.0000. The main calculator has a reverse mode that does this.
