How Nevada taxes your paycheck
Nevada doesn't have a state income tax, so no state tax comes out of your paycheck in 2026. Cities and counties don't charge one either.
Nevada also has no state disability or paid leave deduction. Your paycheck still shows federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, the same as in any state.
For example, a single person earning $60,000 pays $0 in Nevada income tax. A married couple earning $120,000 also pays $0. What changes your take-home pay is your federal tax and what you put into benefits.
