Combined rate including state + all local taxes
Rates include state + county + city taxes. Exact rates can vary within a city by district. Updated January 2026.
Prescription medications are exempt from sales tax in every US state including Nevada.
Unprepared food and groceries are not taxed in Nevada. Restaurant meals and prepared food are still taxable.
Clothing is taxed at the standard 8.31% rate in Nevada.
Restaurant meals and prepared food are taxable in all states with a sales tax, including Nevada.
Nevada's sales tax consists of a 6.85% state rate plus average local taxes of 1.46%, bringing the combined average rate to 8.31%. Groceries exempt. No income tax. Gaming revenue funds government. On a $100 purchase, you pay $8.31 in sales tax. On a $1,000 purchase, the tax is $83.10. Rates can vary within Nevada depending on the county and city of purchase.
Nevada sales tax is calculated by multiplying your purchase price by the applicable combined tax rate. The combined rate includes both the 6.85% Nevada state rate and any applicable local taxes in your specific location. The rate is applied to the pre-tax price and added to your total at checkout. For example, a $250 purchase in Nevada at the average 8.31% combined rate includes $20.77 in sales tax, for a total of $270.77.
Sales tax rates vary within Nevada depending on county and city. North Las Vegas has one of the highest combined rates at 8.38%, while Reno has a lower rate of 8.27%. The variation comes from different local add-on taxes approved by voters or county boards. When shopping online in Nevada, the rate is typically based on your delivery address — known as destination-based sourcing.
Nevada residents pay sales tax on online purchases. Since the 2018 Supreme Court ruling in South Dakota v. Wayfair, states can require online retailers to collect sales tax even without a physical presence in the state. Major retailers including Amazon, Walmart, and Target collect Nevada sales tax at checkout on orders delivered to Nevada addresses. The rate applied is based on your delivery address — your specific city and county rate, not just the state base rate.
Nevada exempts certain product categories from sales tax. Prescription drugs are exempt in Nevada (as they are in all 50 states). Unprepared groceries are also exempt from Nevada sales tax, though restaurant meals and prepared food are taxable. Clothing is subject to the standard Nevada sales tax rate. When in doubt about whether a specific item is taxable, check the Nevada Department of Revenue website.
If you paid a total amount that included Nevada sales tax and need to find the original pre-tax price, use the reverse sales tax formula: divide the total amount by (1 + combined rate). For example, if you paid $108.19 in Nevada where the combined rate is 8.31%, the pre-tax price was $108.19 ÷ 1.0831 = $99.89. Our calculator above has a built-in reverse mode — just enter the total paid and it calculates the original price and tax amount automatically.
