Why Nevada has no income tax — and what you pay instead

Nevada does not levy a state income tax. Wages earned by Nevada residents are not subject to any state-level income tax, which can meaningfully raise take-home pay versus a high-tax state. You still owe federal income tax — estimate it with the Federal Income Tax Calculator — and Nevada still raises revenue through sales tax, property tax, and other levies described below.
