New Hampshire owes more than it owns.
New Hampshire has a -$1,100 Taxpayer Burden.™
New Hampshire is a Sinkhole State without enough assets to cover its debt.
Elected officials have created a Taxpayer Burden™, which is each taxpayer's share of state bills after its available assets have been tapped.
TIA's Taxpayer Burden™ measurement incorporates both assets and liabilities, not just pension debt.
New Hampshire only has $4.6 billion of assets available to pay bills totaling $5.3 billion.
Because New Hampshire doesn't have enough money to pay its bills, it has a -$659.5 million financial hole. To fill it, each New Hampshire taxpayer would have to send -$1,100 to the state.
New Hampshire's reported net position is understated by $146.3 million, largely because the state delays recognizing gains resulting from decreases in retirement liabilities.
The state's financial report was released 174 days after its fiscal year end, which is considered timely according to the 180 day standard.

Financial Transparency Score 2025

JULY 8, 2025

In the spirit of promoting clear and accurate fiscal information, Truth in Accounting has once again assessed the transparency of state governments’ financial reporting. While state budgets receive most of the public and media’s attention, their outcomes are detailed in each government's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), which is audited annually by certified public accountants. Our transparency score is based on key criteria outlining best practices, offering government officials and citizens a roadmap to enhance fiscal transparency and accountability.
