How Nevada taxes your paycheck in 2026

Nevada has no state income tax, relying on gaming and sales tax revenue.

When you look at your Nevada paycheck, you'll see several deductions: federal income tax (withheld based on your W-4 and filing status), FICA (Social Security at 6.2% and Medicare at 1.45%), and that's it at the state level — Nevada has no state income tax on wages.

Federal tax brackets for 2026

Before your Nevada tax, the IRS takes federal income tax. The 2026 federal brackets (for a single filer, Rev. Proc. 2025-32) are:

Income range Rate

Standard deduction (federal)

For tax year 2026, the federal standard deduction is $16,100 for single filers and $32,200 for married filing jointly.

FICA tax breakdown

FICA is a federal tax, so your Nevada rate is identical to every other state. Your employer pays a matching 6.2% + 1.45% for you (self-employed workers pay both halves).
