Frequently Asked Questions

How does overtime work in Nevada?

Nevada daily overtime switches on or off with your pay rate: under $18.00/hour, hours past 8 in a workday earn 1.5×; at or above it, only the weekly 40-hour rule applies. Premium hours are paid at 1.5× your regular rate, and an hour is never paid at two premiums at once.

What is the minimum wage in Nevada in 2026?

The 2026 Nevada minimum wage is $12.00 per hour for most workers. Some cities set higher local rates, and tipped and youth rates can differ.

How much is 45 hours at the Nevada minimum wage?

Five 9-hour days at $12.00: 40.00 regular hours ($480.00) plus 5.00 overtime hours at $18.00 ($90.00) = $570.00 gross before taxes.

When does Nevada daily overtime switch off?

When your regular rate reaches 1.5× the state minimum wage — $18.00 an hour at the current $12.00 minimum. Below that line, hours over 8 in a workday (a rolling 24-hour period from when you start) are overtime; at or above it, only the weekly 40-hour rule applies. A mutually agreed 4-day, 10-hour schedule is also exempt from the daily rule.

Does this calculator apply to salaried employees?

It models hourly, non-exempt work — the employees overtime law protects. Many salaried roles are exempt under the FLSA's executive, administrative and professional tests, which turn on duties and salary level, not job titles.

How it works — the formula

The formula: First check the rate. If it is under 1.5× the state minimum wage ($18.00 at $12.00), each day splits at 8 hours like Alaska's rule; at or above that rate only the weekly split applies. Then regular hours above 40 move into overtime. Gross = (regular × rate) + (overtime × rate × 1.5).

Worked example

Five 9-hour days (45 hours) at the Nevada minimum wage of $12.00/hour. At the minimum wage the rate is below the $18.00 daily-overtime threshold, so each 9-hour day splits into 8 regular and 1 overtime hour: 45:00 hours — 40:00 regular and 5:00 overtime — for a gross of $570.00 ($480.00 regular + $90.00 overtime). Change the rate or the day hours above and the same split is recalculated instantly.

Frequently asked questions

Can daily and weekly overtime stack on the same hour?

No — that is called pyramiding, and it is not allowed. An hour paid at a daily premium is not counted again toward the 40-hour weekly threshold; you receive whichever treatment benefits you more for that hour, never both.

What changes if my break is paid?

Paid break minutes stay in your paid time instead of coming off the shift. That can move a day or a week across a threshold: a 9:00-to-6:30 shift with a paid 30-minute break holds 9.5 paid hours, not 9.
