Every public paycheck in Nevada is paid with your taxes, and Nevada law makes those paychecks public record. Transparent Nevada pulls the records straight from government agencies and puts them in one free search.
Find anyone on the public payroll in seconds
Type a name, a job title, or an agency. Search every year at once, or narrow it to one. Some agencies go back as far as 2009.
The rebuilt site adds new ways to dig in:
- Filter by place. Enter your zip code and see records within 5, 10, 25, or 50 miles. Or narrow it by city or county.
- Filter by pay. Set a minimum and a maximum to see who earns what.
- Sort the results. Put the highest total pay at the top, or the highest pay and benefits combined.
- See pay over time. Every employee’s page shows their pay year by year, and you can download that history as a spreadsheet.
- Search smarter. Put a full name in quotes to match it exactly. Add a minus sign in front of a word to leave it out of your results.
Look up your school district
Pay records for all 17 Nevada school districts are on the site. Jump straight to Clark County School District or Washoe County School District, see every district, or browse charter schools.

See what public pensions pay
A salary ends when someone retires. A pension doesn’t.
Nevada’s Public Employees’ Retirement System, known as PERS, pays retirees for the rest of their lives, and taxpayers help fund it. Transparent Nevada lets you look up annual pension payments for public retirees by name.

Browse the agencies that serve you
Start with the government closest to home: your city, your county, State of Nevada agencies, or Nevada’s universities and colleges.
Read the numbers like a pro
Every employee’s page breaks pay into parts: base pay, overtime, other pay, and benefits. Total pay and benefits adds it all up.
That last number matters. The paycheck is only part of what a public job costs taxpayers.

Is this legal? Who runs it?
Yes. Public employee pay is public record under the Nevada Public Records Act. Here’s exactly what the law says.
Transparent Nevada is not a government website. Nevada Policy, an independent, nonpartisan research organization, launched it in 2008. Every record comes from the agencies themselves through public records requests, and Nevada Policy has filed thousands of those requests over the last 35 years.
