Nevada has no state income tax, so there’s no state-level bonus tax in 2025. Bonuses are subject to federal taxes, including a flat 22% withholding rate for federal income tax (or 37% if over $1 million), plus Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) taxes.

In Nevada, bonuses face only federal taxes since there’s no state income tax. Employers withhold 22% for federal income tax, plus Social Security and Medicare taxes, though your final tax depends on your total income when filing.

Yes, Nevada bonuses avoid state taxes, unlike states with income tax where you’d pay an extra 5-10% or more. Only federal taxes apply, making Nevada’s bonus taxation lighter than in states like California.

Nevada has no state bonus tax, so the rate is just the federal rate: 22% withholding for federal income tax, plus Social Security and Medicare. Other states add their own tax rates, but Nevada doesn’t.

Multiply your bonus by 22% for federal income tax, add 6.2% for Social Security (if under the wage cap), and 1.45% for Medicare. For a $5,000 bonus, that’s $1,100 + $310 + $72.50 = $1,482.50 in taxes.

Nevada offers no state deductions since it has no income tax. Federally, you might lower your tax by contributing to a 401(k) or HSA, reducing your taxable income.

With no state tax, your bonus only increases your federal tax liability. It’s withheld at 22%, but your total tax depends on your income and could shift you to a higher bracket.

Your bonus take-home pay is higher in Nevada due to no state tax. A $10,000 bonus might net you about $7,000 after federal taxes, more than in states with additional taxes.

Nevada still has no state income tax in 2025, so no state-level changes apply. Federal bonus tax rules, like the 22% withholding, remain unless new laws pass.

Nevada has no state tax deadline, and federal taxes are withheld when you get the bonus. Any adjustments happen when you file your federal return by April 15, 2026.
