What a Las Vegas RN actually takes home
Here is the part most pay comparisons miss. Nevada does not tax wages, so the state takes nothing out of your paycheck. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare still come out the same way they do in every state, but there is no second income tax stacked on top.
At the Las Vegas median of $103,940, every 1% of state income tax you would pay somewhere else is about $1,039 a year that stays with you here. In a state with a 5% income tax, that adds up to roughly $5,197 a year, or about $433 a month. To match a Las Vegas paycheck at the median, a job in that state would need to pay about $109,411.
