How the rate is built
What Nevada actually charges
- The Department of Taxation states that the base state sales tax rate in Nevada is 6.85%, and that local jurisdictions can add on top of it.
- The county rate sheets show how far that goes: Clark County, which is Las Vegas, is at 8.375%, and Washoe County, which is Reno, is at 8.265%.
- The lowest counties sit at 7.10%, so even the cheapest place in Nevada is above the state floor.
- Those county rates are unusually stable — several of the published sheets have been effective since 2009.
- One wrinkle worth knowing: the state publishes bracket sheets rather than a plain multiplication, and points to NRS 360.299 for the rules on calculating tax due. On a small sale the bracket answer can differ from the multiplied one by a cent.
- Nevada has no wage income tax, which is why the sales tax floor is where it is.

Common questions
Nevada sales tax, in plain terms
What is the sales tax rate in Nevada?
The Nevada state rate is 6.85%. Counties, cities and special districts add their own rate on top, so what you pay at the register is usually higher than the state rate alone.
How much is sales tax on $100 in Nevada?
At the 6.85% state rate, $100 becomes $106.85 — $6.85 of tax. Add your local rate in the calculator above for the figure you will actually be charged.
How do I work out the tax that is already inside a total?
Switch the calculator to "Take tax out of a total" and enter the amount on the receipt. It divides by one plus the rate rather than subtracting the rate, which is the part people usually get wrong — taking 7% off a total is not the same as the total being 7% tax.
Does this include Nevada city and county taxes?
Not automatically. Local rates are set by thousands of separate jurisdictions and change on their own schedules, so this calculator asks you for yours instead of guessing. Your receipt or your county revenue office has the exact figure.
