Estimated annual sales tax on a median household

A Manchester household at the median income of $71,197 spending roughly a quarter of pre-tax income on taxable retail goods would pay about $0 a year in sales tax at 0%. This is an illustration, not a filing figure: the taxable share of spending varies with household composition, and New Hampshire exempts or discounts several categories. New Hampshire levies no sales tax, which is why Massachusetts border shoppers drive north — a 8.5% meals and rooms tax still applies to restaurants and hotels.

Method: median household income × 25% taxable share × combined rate. The 25% share is a rough national benchmark from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey, not a Manchester-specific measurement.
