Nevada Overtime Calculator 2026

For covered nonexempt employees in Nevada, overtime is generally 1.5× the regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. At the Nevada minimum wage of $12.00/hour that is $18.00/hour. Enter your own hours above for a full breakdown.

Nevada has a unique conditional daily overtime rule. If your regular hourly wage is less than 1.5× the Nevada state minimum wage, you are generally entitled to overtime at 1.5× for hours worked past 8 in a workday. For employees earning higher hourly wages, overtime is calculated on a weekly basis after 40 hours in a workweek. Daily overtime also applies to hours worked past 8 on consecutive days in certain situations. Always consult the Office of the Nevada Labor Commissioner or check our Nevada calculator for specific scenarios.

Nevada does not have a general state law mandating double-time pay for private-sector employees. Employers are only federally and state-required to pay the 1.5× overtime rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Double-time pay (2.0×) is generally a voluntary policy established by employers, union contracts, or collective bargaining agreements for working on holidays, weekends, or emergency shifts. Unless a specific contract or employer agreement applies, you should assume standard overtime rules apply. Check official guidance or your employee handbook for company policies.

At the Nevada minimum wage of $12.00/hour the overtime rate is $18.00/hour. A 45-hour week at that wage comes to $480.00 regular plus $90.00 overtime — $570.00 gross.

In Nevada, tip credits are not permitted under state law. Employers must pay tipped workers the full state minimum wage of $12.00/hour in addition to any tips they receive. Overtime pay for tipped employees must be calculated at 1.5× the full minimum wage, not any lower cash rate. For example, if a tipped worker in Nevada works 45 hours, they earn $480.00 for 40 regular hours and $90.00 for 5 overtime hours, totaling $570.00 in weekly gross pay, separate from tips.

Unpaid overtime claims in Nevada go to Office of the Nevada Labor Commissioner, and a lawyer is generally not required. Bring timesheets and pay stubs. Federal claims can instead go to the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division.
