Like most states, New Hampshire publishes annual Standard Utility Allowances that caseworkers apply in place of actual bills. We haven't yet verified New Hampshire's FY 2026 SUA amounts from an official source, so our calculator conservatively uses the utility amount you enter — your official determination may come out higher if the state's allowance exceeds your actual bills.
