Cardiology Physician Salary in New Hampshire (2026)
A Cardiology physician practicing in New Hampshire can expect a base salary inside the national Cardiology band of $445K to $640K, with the median tracking close to $510K. The New Hampshire variation on that number is driven mostly by anchor-employer comp structure in Manchester, Nashua, Concord, Dover, Portsmouth and by shortage-area incentive stacking outside those metros — not by New Hampshire cost-of-living alone.

Where Cardiology offers land highest in New Hampshire
New Hampshire is dominated by Dartmouth Health, Catholic Medical Center, Concord Hospital, Elliot Health System, and Wentworth-Douglass Hospital. For Cardiology, the highest-comp New Hampshire opportunities I see are typically not in the urban core of Manchester — they sit in rural and HPSA-designated counties where the same Cardiology role carries a 10-25% base premium plus signing bonuses of $30K-$100K and loan repayment of $50K-$200K layered on top of base. That stacking can push an New Hampshire Cardiology offer comfortably above the $640K national ceiling in year-one total cash.
New Hampshire incentive programs that boost Cardiology take-home
The New Hampshire State Loan Repayment Program supports primary care, behavioral health, and dental providers in HPSA sites. The New Hampshire Conrad State 30 J-1 waiver program is consistently filled. NHSC loan repayment is widely used across the state's FQHC network and rural North Country critical-access hospitals. For Cardiology specifically, these federal and state programs frequently add the equivalent of $30K-$60K per year of pre-tax value over the first three years of service.
How I benchmark a Cardiology offer in New Hampshire
When a Cardiology candidate sends me an New Hampshire offer, I check three things in order: (1) where the base lands inside the $445K–$640K band relative to MGMA regional percentiles, (2) the wRVU conversion factor and ramp/threshold structure, and (3) the call burden and stipend. New Hampshire's licensing pace also matters for ramp timing: The New Hampshire Board of Medicine licenses with a typical timeline of 60-120 days for US-trained physicians.
