1. The Verification Test

A $100,000 nominal salary does not translate to $100,000 in your bank account. Here's the math:

• Nevada State Income Tax: $0 (NV has no state income tax on wages)
• Estimated Annual Net Pay: $78,350
• Estimated Monthly Net Pay: $6,529

2. Smart Budget (50/30/20)

3. Spring Valley CDP Tax Context

Nevada is a 0% state income tax state. This is a direct comparison against high-tax states.

• Vs. California: On $100k, you would pay ~$5,500 in state tax. NV saves you $5,500 annually.
• Vs. Texas/Florida: Same as NV (0% state tax).
• Vs. Illinois: You would pay ~$4,950 in state tax. NV saves you $4,950 annually.

The Catch: Nevada funds itself via high sales tax and property tax. You pay for the "no income tax" benefit at the register and via housing costs.

4. FAQ

"Is $100k good here?"
It is a solid, middle-class income. It is not "wealthy" money in the current Vegas metro market. You will live comfortably, but inflation and rising rent are eroding the purchasing power of $100k.

"Local income tax?"
None. Spring Valley CDP and Clark County do not levy an additional income tax on wages.
