Nevada Hourly Paycheck Calculator

Nevada Payroll Taxes

Nevada has no state income tax. Typical paychecks include federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare. Employers fund Nevada unemployment insurance (SUTA) and may owe Nevada’s employer-side Modified Business Tax (MBT), which does not reduce employee net pay. Pretax benefits—401(k)/403(b)/457(b), HSA, FSA, commuter, and eligible insurance premiums—can reduce taxable wages when plan-eligible.

• Employee (federal): Income tax (IRS W-4), Social Security, Medicare, Additional Medicare for high earners.
• Employee (state/local): None—no Nevada state or municipal wage/income withholding.
• Employer: Nevada SUTA; FUTA; workers’ compensation; Nevada MBT; required postings and recordkeeping.
• Pretax deductions: May lower federal taxable wages and, when eligible, FICA.

How Your Nevada Paycheck Works

Your net pay equals gross hourly wages (regular, overtime, tips, differentials, bonuses) minus pretax deductions, then minus FICA and federal withholding. With no Nevada or city income tax, there’s no state/local withholding line. The calculator itemizes hours, rates, taxable wages, all withholdings, deductions, and final take-home pay.

• Inputs: Hourly rate, hours, overtime, tips, pay frequency, filing status, dependents/credits, deductions.
• Outputs: Line-by-line FICA, federal withholding, deductions, and estimated net pay.
• Supplemental wages: Compare flat vs. aggregate federal methods for bonuses/commissions.

Nevada Salary Threshold

Nevada follows FLSA plus state rules. Exempt status requires passing the duties tests and meeting the applicable salary-basis threshold; job titles alone don’t confer exemption. Confirm Nevada minimum wage tiers (with/without employer-provided health benefits), tip credit/service charge rules, and daily overtime triggers when classifying roles and computing overtime.

FICA in Nevada

FICA is federal: employees pay Social Security and Medicare; employers match both. Additional Medicare tax applies above the federal threshold; there’s no employer match. Eligible pretax benefits may reduce FICA-taxable wages depending on plan rules.

Local Income Taxes

50-word summary: Nevada cities do not impose employee local wage/income taxes. All withholding lines are federal (income tax, FICA) plus any court-ordered or benefit deductions. Some localities levy employer-side business or sales taxes. Multistate commuters may face other states’ wage taxes—confirm worksite and residency rules.
