Nevada salary calculator: what your result means

The number at the top is what reaches your bank account each payday. The state line is zero because Nevada residents don't pay state tax on salaries or wages, and Nevada has no state disability or paid leave deduction.

For the $60,000 example, federal income tax withholding is about 8.4% of gross pay and Social Security and Medicare take 7.7%. At $100,000, you'd take home about $3,045.38 per bi-weekly check, or $79,180 a year.

If you're paid hourly at less than $18.00 and sometimes work long days, enter those extra hours under overtime: in Nevada they count after 8 hours in a day. A $40,000 salary paid weekly comes to about $660.01 per paycheck.

The State of Nevada doesn't impose an income tax on individuals, and no Nevada city or county taxes wages. Nevada also has no employee-paid unemployment, disability or paid leave program.

You may hear about Nevada's payroll tax. That's the Modified Business Tax, which employers pay at 1.17% for most general businesses on wages above an exempt amount. The Department of Taxation says employers can't deduct it from employees' wages, so it never appears on your pay stub.

Why is my Nevada state tax zero?

Because Nevada doesn't tax wages. If your pay stub shows a state deduction, ask your employer what it is: it may be for another state where you work, or a voluntary benefit.

Things to know about Nevada paychecks

Federal taxes on every paycheck

Every US paycheck has the same three federal deductions, whichever state you work in. Together, Social Security and Medicare are called FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) taxes.

  • Federal income tax withholding. Withholding is tax your employer takes out of each paycheck and sends to the IRS on your behalf. The amount depends on your pay and your Form W-4, using the IRS method in Publication 15-T. It is an estimate of your yearly tax; you settle the difference when you file your return.
  • Social Security. 6.2% of your wages, up to the wage base of $184,500 for the year. The wage base is the most pay that Social Security tax applies to.
  • Medicare. 1.45% of all your wages, with no limit. Once your pay from one employer passes $200,000 in a year, your employer also withholds an extra 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax on the amount above it.

Ways to change your paycheck

Nevada has no state withholding certificate, so your federal Form W-4 is the only form that changes your tax withholding.

Pre-tax benefits lower only federal taxes in Nevada. A traditional 401(k) lowers federal income tax; health insurance and HSA contributions through a Section 125 plan also lower Social Security and Medicare.

  • Update your Form W-4. Claiming dependents, checking the Step 2 box or asking for extra withholding changes how much federal tax comes out of each paycheck. The IRS Tax Withholding Estimator can help you fill it in.
  • Pre-tax deductions. Money you put into a traditional 401(k), an HSA or employer health insurance comes out before federal income tax, so your take-home pay drops by less than the amount you save.
  • Bonuses. Employers often withhold federal tax on a bonus paid separately at a flat rate. Add a bonus under More options to see it.
