Single filer, no pre-tax deductions. The $75,000 row is the calculator's default above.
The state-specific rules behind the numbers above — the things a generic calculator gets wrong about Nevada.
Nevada levies no individual income tax at all. There are no Nevada brackets, no Nevada standard deduction and no state withholding from wages, so a wage earner in Nevada does not file a Nevada individual income tax return. On a paycheck, the deductions are federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) only.

Nevada also levies no corporate income tax. Business taxation in Nevada instead runs through other levies, notably gaming taxes, sales taxes and business-specific taxes, rather than a tax on corporate or personal income.

Nevada employers pay a Modified Business Tax (MBT), a quarterly payroll tax administered by the Nevada Department of Taxation. For most general businesses the rate is 1.17% on taxable wages above the first $50,000 paid in a quarter, after a deduction for employer-paid employee health benefits; financial institutions and mining pay a higher rate with no $50,000 exemption. The MBT is an employer-side tax — it is not withheld from an employee's wages and does not appear as a deduction on a paycheck.

Because Nevada has no individual income tax, Social Security benefits, pensions, IRA and 401(k) withdrawals and investment income are all free of Nevada state income tax. Federal tax on those sources still applies exactly as it would in any other state.

Nevada funds state services heavily from gaming and consumption taxes instead of income tax. The statewide sales tax base rate is 6.85%, with local add-ons pushing combined rates higher in many areas, so Nevada's low paycheck taxes come with comparatively high sales taxes on purchases.
