New Hampshire is also one of only nine US states with no state income tax — sales tax carries more of the load here than in most states, which is part of why the rate feels a bit more visible at checkout.
Like most states, New Hampshire allows employers to pay tipped workers a lower base cash wage under a federal or state "tip credit," as long as tips bring total pay up to at least the regular minimum wage — which is part of why tipping culture is taken seriously in the US service industry.

Correct — New Hampshire is one of just five US states with no statewide sales tax, and (unlike Alaska) it doesn't allow local sales taxes either, so the total on your receipt is the actual pre-tip amount, with nothing added at checkout.
No. This tool calculates the tip a customer leaves on a bill. A payroll or paycheck tip calculator is a different, employer-side tool for reporting tip income and calculating wages.
