Nevada Overtime Calculator
Nevada's overtime rule depends on your pay rate: below $18.00/hour you earn daily overtime past 8 hours; at or above it, the weekly 40-hour rule alone applies. Enter your rate and this calculator picks the right tier automatically. Free, no sign-up.

Calculations run in your browser using the Nevada (NRS 608.018) ruleset. At $20.00/h your entries do not qualify for daily overtime (the cutoff is $18.00/h). Entries are saved on this device only — nothing is uploaded.
How Nevada overtime works
NRS 608.018 splits employees into two tiers by pay rate:
- Under $18.00/hour (less than 1.5× the $12.00 minimum wage): 1.5× pay for hours past 8 in a 24-hour period and past 40 in a week.
- $18.00/hour or more: 1.5× pay past 40 hours in a workweek only — same as the federal rule.
Four 10-hour days: at $15/hour this pays 8 hours of daily overtime; at $20/hour it pays none. Load the example, then change the rate across the $18 cutoff and watch the split flip.
The daily rule technically measures a rolling 24-hour period rather than a calendar day — split shifts within 24 hours can qualify. This calculator applies the per-workday reading; verify unusual split-shift schedules with the Nevada Labor Commissioner. Neighboring California uses an unconditional 8-hour daily rule plus double time — see the California overtime calculator.

Running payroll for a team?
A calculator is great for checking the math; payroll software applies these rules automatically every pay run. Tools small teams commonly compare:
Full-service payroll that files federal and state taxes automatically — popular with small teams.
Payroll built into QuickBooks — a natural fit if your books are already there.
Payroll and compliance for distributed and international teams, contractors included.

Frequently asked questions
- Does Nevada have daily overtime?
- Only for lower-paid employees. Under NRS 608.018(1), employees earning less than 1.5× Nevada's minimum wage (less than $18.00/hour) get 1.5× pay past 8 hours in a 24-hour period. At $18.00/hour or more, only the 40-hour weekly rule applies.
- What is the Nevada overtime rate cutoff?
- Nevada's minimum wage is $12.00/hour, so the daily-overtime cutoff is $18.00/hour (1.5× minimum). This calculator checks your entered rate against that cutoff automatically and applies the correct tier.
- Does Nevada pay double time?
- No. Nevada law tops out at 1.5×, like the federal rule. Only California (among these states) requires double time.
