Nevada Overtime Pay Laws & Calculator

The rules

Source: Nev. Rev. Stat. § 608.018

• Overtime applies after 40 hours in a single workweek, paid at 1.5x your regular hourly rate.
• Daily overtime also applies: 1.5x pay for hours worked beyond 8 in a single workday.
• The daily rule only applies below $18.00/hr (1.5x Nevada's $12.00/hr minimum wage (effective 2024-07-01)) -- at or above that rate, only the weekly rule applies.
• Written agreement to a 4-day, 10-hour/day schedule can change how the daily rule applies.

Is overtime taxed differently in Nevada?

No -- overtime pay isn't taxed at a different rate than your regular wages. It's simply added to your gross pay for that period and withheld the same way as any other pay. Nevada has no state income tax on wages, so overtime pay is only reduced by federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) withholding.

Who this applies to

• Daily overtime (over 8 hrs in a 24-hour period, at 1.5x) only applies if your hourly rate is below $18.00 -- 1.5x Nevada's $12.00/hr minimum wage (effective 2024-07-01). At or above $18.00/hr, only the weekly 40-hour rule applies.
• A written agreement to a 4-day, 10-hour/day schedule exempts an employee from the daily rule regardless of wage.
• This estimate assumes a non-exempt hourly employee. Executive, administrative, professional, and certain other roles may be exempt from overtime entirely under state and federal law.
