Nevada's statewide sales tax is 6.85%, and once the population-weighted local average (1.39%) is added on, the combined rate works out to about 8.24% — among the higher combined sales tax rates nationally (ranked #13 of 47 states + D.C. by combined rate).
Nevada's local sales taxes are fairly uniform across the state, so the rate above should be close to what you'll actually see on most receipts, wherever you are.
Nevada is also one of only nine US states with no state income tax — sales tax carries more of the load here than in most states, which is part of why the rate feels a bit more visible at checkout.
Nevada does not allow a "tip credit" — employers must pay tipped workers the full state or local minimum wage before any tips, so a tip here is genuinely extra income rather than a wage top-up.

No — Nevada is one of nine US states with no state income tax. That doesn't directly affect your tip, but it's part of why sales tax tends to be a bigger, more visible line item on receipts here than in states that lean more on income tax.
No. This tool calculates the tip a customer leaves on a bill. A payroll or paycheck tip calculator is a different, employer-side tool for reporting tip income and calculating wages.
