Reading Nevada Payroll Taxes
There is no state income tax on wages in Nevada. What separates gross from net here is federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare.
Nevada has no personal income tax, so FICA and federal withholding are the only wage-based deductions.
Nevada Minimum Wage and Take-Home Pay
The wage floor in Nevada is $12.00 per hour, according to the rates the Labor Department listed for July 1, 2026. Working full time at the floor means $480.00 gross each week, about $426.24 net for a single filer without deductions, and $22,165 a year. Nothing is withheld for state income tax at this level.
Full time at the floor comes to $24,960 a year, near 52% of the state median of $47,660.
Minimum wages are revised often. The hourly paycheck calculator handles any rate, and the Nevada labor department publishes the current one.
