Anything marked not included has no single published amount, so add it from your dealer's offer sheet.
New Hampshire is not in our cost ranking because a fee has no published starting amount. Compare every state.

New Hampshire out-the-door price: common questions
Is there a limit on dealer doc fees in New Hampshire?
No. New Hampshire sets no dollar cap on dealer documentation fees, so they vary from dealer to dealer. Ask for the doc fee in writing and compare it between dealers.
What is added to the price of a car in New Hampshire?
On a $30,000 car bought from a dealer: sales tax of $0, the dealer's doc fee, title from $35 and registration (no single published amount). Any other dealer charges come on top.
How does a trade-in with a loan on it change what you pay in New Hampshire?
On a $30,000 car the out-the-door price is about $30,035, before any fees we cannot price. A $10,000 trade-in with $4,000 still owed gives you $6,000 of trade-in equity, which comes off what is left to pay: about $24,035. New Hampshire gives no tax break for this trade-in, so the out-the-door price stays the same.
How we calculate this
Out-the-door price = selling price + tax + doc fee + title + registration + other fees − rebate. Trade-in equity = trade-in value − loan still owed on it. Balance after trade-in = out-the-door price − trade-in equity. Tax follows New Hampshire's rules for trade-ins, rebates and doc fees. Where a fee varies, we start from the lowest published amount. An empty fee field counts as $0, and the calculator lists it as still to add.
