Nevada charges sales and use tax of 4.6% at the state level, and local jurisdictions add their own, which brings a typical vehicle to about 8.375%. A trade-in does reduce the taxable price, which is real money on the deal.
Type your own numbers and see the same car priced as cash and as a loan, with the taxes and state fees for Nevada. Nothing you type leaves this page.
To see a lease, pick a vehicle. A lease is priced on one car: what it is expected to be worth at the end (its residual) and the leasing company's money factor change by model and by month.
An estimate on the numbers you type, not an offer of credit or a quote from any dealership. Starting loan rates are Rateous's rates for each credit range and term; they are not an offer from any lender. The documentary fee starts at an example figure, the state's legal cap where it has one or $599 where it does not, not any dealership's fee; each dealership sets its own. Taxes and state fees are estimates for Nevada; the dealership's paperwork and your motor vehicle agency have the final numbers. Nothing you type is sent, saved, or used to check your credit.
The 4.6% state layer is the 2% state sales tax plus the 2.6% Local School Support Tax; every county adds at least 2.25% (Basic and Supplemental City-County Relief Taxes) plus county options. Combined rates: Clark (Las Vegas) 8.375%, Washoe (Reno) 8.265%, Carson City 7.6%, minimum 6.85% (Esmeralda, Eureka, Humboldt, Mineral).
Dealers collect tax at the rate of the county where the dealership is located; private-party vehicle sales are not taxed in Nevada.
Manufacturer rebates are part of the taxable sales price (consideration paid by a third party); dealer discounts reduce it.
On a $35,000 new car with a $37,000 sticker, registered in Las Vegas, no trade-in: the same figures the calculator above uses. The dealership's documentary fee is its own and is not included.
| Fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| Title Fee | $28.25 |
| Registration Fee | $33.00 |
| Governmental Services Tax (est.) | $647.50 |
| In all | $708.75 |
Nevada taxes a lease one payment at a time: the tax is added to each monthly payment, so you pay it as you go.
Pick your city for the exact combined rate where you register, plus what title and registration run there.
Nevada charges 4.6% at the state level and local jurisdictions add more, so a typical combined rate on a vehicle is about 8.375% and can reach 8.375% at the high end. The rate is set by the dealership location, so pick your city above for the exact figure.
Value of a vehicle taken in trade by the dealer is excluded from the taxable sales price (NRS 372.025).
On a $35,000 new car with a $37,000 sticker, registered in Las Vegas: Title Fee $28.25, Registration Fee $33.00, Governmental Services Tax (est.) $647.50, about $708.75 in all. Registration fee $33 plus Governmental Services Tax: DMV valuation = 35% of original MSRP, reduced 5% in year 1 (then 10% per year, floor 15%), taxed at 4% (minimum $16). Clark and Churchill counties add a Supplemental GST of 1% of the depreciated valuation. A $40,000 MSRP car in Clark County year 1: $33 + $532 + $133 = about $700.
No. Nevada sets no statutory cap. Each dealership sets its own documentary fee (not a government fee), and each car shows its dealership's fee.
