Are there local income taxes in Nebraska?

No — Nebraska cities and counties don't generally charge a local income tax on wages.

What else is taken out of a Nebraska paycheck?

Federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500) and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% above $200,000), and Nebraska income tax. Pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) contributions and health insurance lower your taxable pay.

Why is my real paycheck a little different?

Employers withhold based on your W-4, which may include extra withholding, other income or deductions. Benefits such as HSA, dental or commuter plans, and local taxes also change the result. Treat this as a close estimate.
