2026 CITY × PROFESSION SALARY GUIDE

Data Scientist Salary in Las Vegas, NV

Reviewed by Kevin Marshall, CPA

This page starts with the national median salary for data scientist workers, then runs it through ExactTakeHome's 2026 paycheck engine using Las Vegas's state tax context. That makes the page materially different from the statewide profession guide: the profession stays fixed, while the tax context changes with the city.

Modeled salary benchmark for data scientists in Las Vegas

ExactTakeHome uses the existing national median salary benchmark of $108,020 for data scientists and analytics specialists, then applies Nevada withholding rules to show what that pay level looks like in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas does not carry a separate modeled local wage tax in this repo, so the city-specific differentiation comes from the city's navigation context and adjacent salary pages while the withholding math stays at the Nevada state level.

The goal is not to claim every data scientist in Las Vegas earns the same amount. The goal is to give job seekers and movers a stable benchmark they can compare across cities before opening the full calculator with their own filing status, pay frequency, and deduction inputs.
