How Your NV Paycheck Works
Nevada paychecks start with federal income tax withholding under IRS Publication 15-T using the employee's Form W-4, pay period, and taxable wages.
FICA applies: Social Security is 6.2% on wages up to the $184,500 wage base in 2026, and Medicare is 1.45% on all covered wages.
Employers must withhold the 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax once wages paid to an employee exceed $200,000 in the calendar year. Nevada does not impose a state individual income tax; the Nevada Department of Revenue states that Nevada has no personal income tax.
Nevada's Commerce Tax and Modified Business Tax are employer taxes and do not reduce employee take-home pay. For standard paycheck calculations, only federal income tax and FICA affect Nevada employees under standard withholding assumptions.
Estimates assume standard 2026 withholding, single filing status, and no pre-tax deductions; actual paycheck may differ.
