Nevada pay stubs have no state income tax line, but hourly workers in the state can earn something federal law does not require: daily overtime. Under Nevada law, an employee paid less than one and a half times the state minimum wage earns time and a half for hours beyond eight in any twenty-four-hour period, as well as for hours beyond forty in a week. A ten-hour shift therefore carries two hours of overtime even in a week that totals well under forty. Workers paid above that wage line are owed overtime only after forty hours in a week. Employer and employee can also agree in writing to a schedule of four ten-hour days, which removes the daily rule for those shifts; the calculator does not model that exception.
The overtime calculator takes hours day by day and applies the daily rule when your rate is below the line, so a week of uneven shifts comes out right. For the take-home effect of a regular hourly schedule, use the Hourly tab above or the hourly paycheck calculator.
For salaried employees the arithmetic is simpler. With no state tax on wages, no state withholding certificate and no city or county income tax, the only lines on a Nevada stub are federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and whatever you elect for retirement and benefits. The federal W-4 is the only form that changes what is withheld, and the W-4 calculator helps check it.
Crossing a state line changes things. A Nevada resident who works in California, on the California side of Lake Tahoe for instance, has California tax withheld and gets nothing back from Nevada, since there is no Nevada tax to credit. The same applies to jobs in Arizona, Utah and Oregon. People who live in those states and commute into Reno, Las Vegas or Stateline have nothing withheld for Nevada, but their home state taxes them as residents. Set both states in the calculator below to compare.
How Nevada taxes your paycheck
State income tax withholding
Nevada has no state income tax on wages, so nothing is withheld for it and there is no state withholding certificate to fill in. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare are withheld as everywhere else.
Nevada goes further than the federal 40-hour week: it requires overtime after eight hours in a day for workers paid less than $18.00 an hour. The calculator's Hourly tab and the overtime calculator apply these rules.
City and county taxes
No Nevada city or county taxes wages either, so a Nevada pay stub carries only the federal lines.
Living in one state and working in another
With no income tax, Nevada has nothing to withhold from people who commute in. If you live in Nevada and work in a state that taxes wages, that state withholds and Nevada gives nothing back, because there is no Nevada tax to credit it against.
