What is on a Nevada pay stub
Gross pay. Total earnings for the pay period before any deductions — rate times hours, or salary divided by pay periods, plus overtime and any bonuses.
Federal income tax. Withheld from every US paycheck using your W-4 and the IRS Publication 15-T method. This is the same in Nevada as in every other state.
FICA — Social Security and Medicare. Social Security is 6.2% of wages up to the 2026 wage base of $184,500; Medicare is 1.45% of all wages, with an extra 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax on wages above $200,000 for a single filer.
State income tax. Nevada does not levy a state income tax on wages, so a Nevada pay stub shows no state income tax line. Federal income tax and FICA still apply.
Pre-tax and post-tax deductions. Pre-tax items (traditional 401(k), HSA, Section 125 health premiums) reduce taxable wages. Post-tax items (Roth contributions, garnishments) come off after tax.
Net pay. Take-home pay — gross minus every tax and deduction above.
