How a Nevada paycheck is built

Every Nevada worker pays federal income tax, calculated on the W-4 you submitted to your employer using the IRS Publication 15-T tables. Federal income tax is followed by FICA: 6.2 percent Social Security up to the annual wage base, plus 1.45 percent Medicare on every dollar. The 0.9 percent Additional Medicare Tax applies once year-to-date wages cross $200,000 single or $250,000 married filing jointly.

Nevada levies no state income tax on wages. Your paycheck has only federal layers, no state line.

Daily overtime: Nevada requires daily-overtime payment for hours above a daily threshold, on top of the federal weekly FLSA rule. See the overtime page.
