New Hampshire window tint checker
VLT (visible light transmission) is the share of light the film lets through; a lower number is darker. It is printed on the film packaging or your installation receipt. Leave it blank to just read the limits.
Enter your film's VLT above to check it against each New Hampshire window limit, or read the limits as they stand.
Where aftermarket tinting is applied to any window behind the driver, outside rear-view mirrors are required on both the left and right side of the vehicle (Saf-C 3217.06).
Film is sold by its own VLT, but police measure the installed darkness: the film combined with your factory glass, which reads darker than the film alone. These are the New Hampshire figures stated as information, not a determination about any stop or ticket.
Informational only, not legal advice. Reflectivity limits, color bans, and vehicle-class exceptions can change the answer for a specific car. See the full rules, the exemption steps, and the citations on the New Hampshire window tint reference, cited to RSA 266:58-a; N.H. Admin. Code Saf-C 3217.06; RSA 266:61-a, IX.
How the New Hampshire tint rules work
New Hampshire is one of the strictest states on the two windows next to the driver: aftermarket film is not allowed there at all, and a vehicle carrying it is rejected at the annual inspection unless a medical waiver is on file. The windshield is off limits too, aside from a 6-inch strip at the top that must stay at 35% or lighter. Behind the driver you get room to work, down to 35%, with mirrors on both sides once you tint back there.
This checker applies the New Hampshire figures to the VLT you enter. It is informational only and not legal advice: reflectivity limits, color bans, and vehicle-class exceptions can change the answer for a specific car.
