Nevada has never had a state income tax. The state funds its government largely through gaming/casino revenue, tourism taxes, and sales tax. This makes Nevada uniquely positioned among no-tax states.
State sales tax is 6.85%, with local additions pushing rates to 8.375% in Las Vegas.
Property taxes are very low, averaging about 0.53% of assessed value — among the lowest in the country.
Nevada’s combination of no income tax, low property taxes, and proximity to California makes it a popular destination for Californians seeking tax relief. The cost of living is moderate, especially outside Las Vegas.
How does Nevada’s tax burden change as your income rises? With no state tax, the effective rate increase at higher incomes is driven entirely by federal bracket progression and Medicare surtax.

Nevada ranks #3/50 for raw take-home pay and #28/50 for cost-adjusted purchasing power at $100K. The 25-position shift between raw and cost-adjusted ranking reflects the above-average cost of living, which reduces what your take-home actually buys.
At $100K in Nevada, you keep $79,125. The best state (Alaska) gives $79,125, and the worst (California) gives $70,480. Nevada is among the top 10 states for take-home pay.
Nevada levies no personal income tax, making it one of just 9 states where your paycheck isn’t reduced by state-level income taxes. On $100K, you keep $79,125 after federal taxes and FICA — compared to $70,480 in California or $72,040 in New York.
Filing as married filing jointly on $100K changes take-home from $79,125 (single) to $84,710 (married). The $5,585 marriage bonus comes from the doubled standard deduction ($32,200 vs $16,100) and wider lower brackets.
