Nevada's payroll tax is levied on employers
Nevada's tax on wages is the Modified Business Tax (MBT), and the law places it on employers: every employer subject to Nevada's unemployment compensation law (NRS 612) is also subject to MBT on total gross wages, minus employee health care benefits the employer pays[nv2]. "Total gross wages" means everything reported to the Employment Security Division for the quarter, tips included.
| Employer type | Rate | Wage exemption | Filing |
|---|---|---|---|
| General business | 1.17% (was 1.378%) | First $50,000 of wages not taxable (NRS 363B.110) | Quarterly |
| Financial institutions | 1.554% | None | Quarterly |
| Mining (subject to net proceeds of minerals tax) | 1.554% | None | Quarterly (MBT-Mining return) |
Since MBT is an employer tax, the Nevada paycheck calculator shows only the federal withholding lines: federal income tax ($193.08 per biweekly check on $60,000, single), Social Security at 6.2% up to $184,500[ssa], and Medicare at 1.45%. All general business employers must file an MBT return even when no tax is due.
Nevada taxes in place of an income tax
The Nevada Department of Taxation administers no personal income tax[nv1]. The taxes it lists are the bank branch excise tax, cigarette and other tobacco products tax, consumer use tax, gold and silver excise tax, insurance premium tax, live entertainment tax, Modified Business Tax, net proceeds of minerals tax, real property transfer tax, sales and use tax, and transportation connection tax.
For a household, sales tax is the one felt most. The base state rate is 6.85%, and local jurisdictions add their own share, so the total depends on where you buy[nv3]:
| Area | Total rate | Rate sheet effective |
|---|---|---|
| State base rate | 6.85% | – |
| Clark County (Las Vegas area) | 8.375% | Jan 1, 2020 |
| Carson City | 7.60% | Oct 1, 2014 |
| Churchill County | 7.60% | July 1, 2009 |
This calculator measures pay, not spending, so it does not subtract sales tax. Someone moving from California keeps more of each check in Nevada, but part of that gain goes back at the register.
What changes a Nevada paycheck
With no state income tax, the size of a Nevada check depends on pay frequency, the federal W-4 and pre-tax benefits. On $60,000:
- Weekly pay gives $969.04 per check over 52 paydays ($50,390 a year).
- Biweekly pay gives $1,938.08 over 26 paydays.
- Monthly pay gives $4,199.17 over 12 paydays.
- An 8% traditional 401(k) puts $4,800 a year into savings and lowers take-home by $4,224, because federal income tax falls by $576.
Hourly workers can switch to Hourly mode and enter overtime hours; time-and-a-half pay is withheld like any other wages. The time and a half calculator gives the overtime rate itself, and the overtime tax calculator explains the federal deduction for overtime premiums.
