Nevada
For Americans thinking of retiring to Nevada from another state, or comparing it with a move abroad. Prices in Nevada run at 100 against a US average of 100, with housing at 114.1. We cover Nevada's 17 counties on the map below, each with a page of its own, and no town in depth yet.

Nevada is not compared with a town — compare two towns instead. Why?
Nevada, a state of the United States, is not the same kind of thing as a town: it spans many counties and very different places. Putting a state-wide average beside one town's own figures produces a number that looks like an answer and describes nothing a person would experience — so the engine refuses that pairing rather than rendering it thinly. A town against another town, here or abroad, is like-for-like. Build a comparison →

Medicare in Nevada
For the published example couple, both 67 and married: what Medicare premiums cost a year for two in Nevada, and the most a bad year can cost. What care itself costs depends on a person's health, so it is not estimated here.
Medicare Advantage, with drug coverage
USD $4,870 a year for two in premiums (from USD $4,870)
At most USD $9,370 in a bad year (from USD $6,670), with each person's in-network out-of-pocket maximum
The middle of the 34 plans offered here; "from" is the lowest premium among them.
Original Medicare, with a drug plan
USD $6,948 a year for two in premiums (from USD $4,997)
Medigap: no federal price list — not in this total.
No yearly maximum on Original Medicare alone.
Part B for two, plus the middle of the 9 standalone drug plans offered in the state.
The middle of Nevada's 17 counties, weighted by residents 65 or older (US Census Bureau, 1 July 2025); 8 have no Advantage plan and are left out of that column.
The 2027 Part B premium is not yet published (CMS usually publishes it in November); 2026's is used.
Source: CMS, Medicare Advantage and Part D Landscape, plan year 2027; CMS, 2026 Medicare Parts A & B Premiums and Deductibles (fact sheet, 14 Nov 2025).
Nevada gives Medigap policyholders who live in Nevada an open enrollment period starting on the first day of their birthday month and lasting at least 60 days to buy same or lesser benefits from any carrier without underwriting. Nevada's rule

Retiring to Nevada: pros and cons, by the figures
Retiring to Nevada, judged on the six figures above: a pro is a figure in the top fifth of the states, a con one in the bottom fifth. Figures in between get no verdict.
Pros
- Taxes on a retired couple: lower than 96% of the other 50 (USD $1,629). Each state's published 2025 income-tax rules and the Census ACS property-tax ratio, applied to the example household
- Healthcare access: higher than 90% of the other 50 (88 % of residents 65+). CMS, Hospital General Information (Care Compare), hospital overall star rating, release of 13 Aug 2026, weighted by each county's population 65+ (US Census Bureau, 1 July 2025)
Cons
- Climate: fewer than 84% of the other 50 (4.0 months a year). CHELSA V2.1 monthly maximum temperature, 1981-2010 (~1 km), averaged over the county, Karger et al., weighted by each county's population 65+ (US Census Bureau, 1 July 2025)

Taxes on a retired couple in Nevada
We apply Nevada's published rules for tax year 2025 to one example household and show the sum, line by line. These are rules already in force for 2025, not a projection.
The example household
| Filing status | married filing jointly, both aged 67 |
|---|---|
| Social Security | USD $45,000 a year, combined |
| Private pension | USD $25,000 a year |
| IRA or 401(k) withdrawal | USD $20,000 a year |
| Home, for property tax | USD $350,000 |
An illustrative household, the same for every state so states can be compared. Each spouse holds half of each income. Your own figures will differ.
Nevada's rules applied
| No state income tax on this household's income in 2025 Nevada Department of Taxation: Income Tax in Nevada | USD $0 |
|---|---|
| Property tax on a USD $350,000 home, at the state's median taxes paid ÷ median home value US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates, table B25103 | USD $1,629 |
| State and local tax, a year | USD $1,629 |
Federal income tax is left out: it is the same in every state, so it cannot separate them. Sales tax is left out too: it depends on what a household buys, and no state publishes an average of its local rates. The rate is listed below.
The rules behind the sum
- State sales tax 6.85 %, plus local additions: 6.85 % Nevada Department of Taxation: Sales and Use Tax · checked Oct 26, 2026
