Las Vegas Payroll Taxes

Las Vegas is in Nevada, which has no state personal income tax and no city income tax on wages. Typical paychecks include federal income tax withholding and FICA (Social Security and Medicare). Employers fund Nevada unemployment insurance (SUTA), federal FUTA, workers’ compensation, and Nevada’s Modified Business Tax (employer-side). Pretax benefits—401(k)/403(b)/457(b), HSA, FSA, commuter, and certain insurance premiums—may reduce taxable wages when plan-eligible.

• Employee taxes: Federal income tax (W-4 based), Social Security, Medicare, Additional Medicare for high earners.
• State/Local employee income tax: None in Nevada/Las Vegas.
• Employer-only items: Nevada SUTA (unemployment), FUTA, Modified Business Tax, workers’ comp.
• Pretax deductions: May lower federal taxable wages and sometimes FICA depending on plan type.

How Your Las Vegas Paycheck Works

Your net pay equals gross wages (regular, overtime, tips, differentials, bonuses) minus pretax deductions; then minus FICA and federal income tax. Because Nevada has no state or local income tax, there’s no state/local withholding line. The calculator summarizes hours, rates, taxes, deductions, and net pay.

• Inputs: Hourly rate, hours, overtime, tips, pay frequency, filing status, dependents/credits, deductions.
• Outputs: Itemized FICA and federal withholding, pretax/post-tax deductions, estimated take-home.
• Supplemental wages: Bonuses/commissions may use flat or aggregate federal withholding—model both.

Las Vegas Salary Threshold

Nevada follows the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for white-collar exemptions. Exempt status depends on duties tests and meeting the federal salary-basis threshold. Job titles alone do not determine exemption. Nevada also has state overtime nuances (including daily overtime) and minimum wage tiers—confirm current thresholds when classifying roles.

FICA in Las Vegas

FICA is federal and applies in Nevada. Employees pay Social Security and Medicare; employers match both. Above the federal threshold, Additional Medicare tax is withheld (no employer match). Eligible pretax benefits can reduce FICA-taxable wages depending on plan rules (e.g., Section 125 health premiums).

FAQs: Las Vegas Hourly Paycheck Calculator

How do I use the calculator for hourly and tipped work?

Enter hourly rate, hours, overtime, tips, pay frequency, filing status, dependents/credits, and pretax/post-tax deductions. The calculator applies federal withholding and FICA (no Nevada/Las Vegas income tax) to estimate take-home pay with a clear breakdown.

Does Las Vegas have local income taxes?

No. Nevada does not levy state or local income taxes. Your paycheck reflects federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and any benefits or court-ordered deductions.

How are tips handled for casino/hospitality employees?

Reported tips are taxable for federal income tax and FICA. Include cash and charged tips to ensure correct withholding and minimum wage compliance.

What Nevada-specific items affect my paycheck besides federal taxes?

Nevada’s Modified Business Tax and unemployment insurance are employer-paid and do not reduce employee net pay. Benefit elections (health, HSA, FSA, retirement) may lower taxable wages and thus taxes withheld.

How should I enter overtime, shift differentials, and bonuses?

Add overtime at proper multipliers (typically 1.5× after 40 hours/week; daily overtime may apply). Enter differentials and supplemental wages separately to recalc withholding accurately.

Why did my paycheck change this period?

Common reasons: variable hours/tips, overtime, bonuses, updated W-4 elections, benefits changes, or federal tax-table updates. Compare hours, rates, tips, deductions, and withholding with prior pay stubs.

Which form controls my withholding in Nevada?

IRS Form W-4 controls federal withholding. Nevada has no state income tax form.

Can I include 401(k), HSA, FSA, commuter, or insurance premiums?

Yes. Eligible pretax contributions reduce taxable wages, lowering federal tax and, when eligible, FICA. Post-tax items (garnishments, union dues) are entered after taxes.

How do multiple jobs or pooled tips affect my withholding?

Run separate scenarios for each job and include estimated tips. Use IRS multiple-jobs guidance to avoid under-withholding.

What is Additional Medicare tax and when does it apply?

After exceeding the federal threshold, Additional Medicare is withheld (no employer match). Appears beside regular Medicare on your stub.

Are commissions and bonuses taxed differently?

They are supplemental wages. Employers may use flat federal rates or aggregate with regular wages; FICA also applies.

Can the calculator project annual take-home from my hourly rate and tips?

Yes. Multiply weekly hours by 52, add expected tips/bonuses, and run estimates to approximate annual net pay.
