Why Nevada has no income tax

Nevada's constitution and statutes have kept personal income off the tax rolls since statehood; casino gaming taxes, hotel-room taxes, and one of the broader sales taxes in the West pick up the tab. For wage earners that means a $75,000 salary loses nothing to the state — a difference of $2,000 to $7,000 a year compared with states that tax income.

What you pay instead: sales tax

Nevada leans hard on consumption taxes. The combined state and local sales tax is 8.375% in Clark County (Las Vegas) and 8.265% in Washoe County (Reno) — among the higher rates in the country. Property taxes, by contrast, are capped and relatively moderate. None of these affect your paycheck directly, but they shape your cost of living.

What still comes out of your paycheck

Only federal income tax (progressive brackets with the 2026 standard deduction) and FICA — Social Security at 6.2% up to the annual wage base and Medicare at 1.45%, plus the 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax on earnings above $200,000 for single filers. This calculator estimates both. Retirement income, including Social Security, pensions, and IRA distributions, is completely untaxed at the state level.
