What percentage is taken out of your paycheck for taxes in NH?

Withholding is NOT a fixed amount. It is entirely under your control by how you instruct the payroll provider, (hopefully based on calcultaing what you would need in the worksheets provided), by your W-4. People with the same salary can and normally do have very different amounts withheld...based on things like other income, spouss income, investments, deductions, exemptions, retirement contributions, etc. And of course, exactly what you consider taxes is a major component...do you include Social Security/ How about unemployment? Disability? All these are more insurance premiums than tax...but maybe not to you.
