How raises are taxed in Nevada
When you get a raise, only the additional income above your current bracket threshold is taxed at the higher rate. This is how progressive taxation works — your existing income stays at the same rates. Your effective tax rate increases gradually, not all at once.
Nevada has no state income tax. Residents pay only federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare.
Federal income tax works the same way. A raise from $75,000 to $100,000 doesn't mean all your income is taxed at 22%. Only the portion above $50,400 (the 22% bracket threshold for single filers) is taxed at that rate. Your effective federal rate increases from about 10.2% to 13.2%.
