What affects nurse pay in New Hampshire

Pay slightly above the national median. Within New Hampshire, pay is shaped by the metro labor market, the mix of hospitals vs long-term care and clinics, union presence, shift differentials, and how short-staffed local employers are. Advanced-practice roles (NP, CRNA) and critical-care specialties command the highest pay. Use the calculator to estimate your own.

Take-home note. New Hampshire levies no state income tax on wages, so a nurse's take-home pay stretches further than the gross figures above suggest compared with a high-tax state. Note this affects net pay, not the gross wage shown here.
