Nevada Overtime Calculator
Nevada’s daily overtime depends on your pay: under $18.00 an hour — 1.5 times the $12.00 minimum wage — you earn time and a half after 8 hours in a workday as well as after 40 in a week. Nevada has no income tax.

Your no-tax-on-overtime deduction
Nevada has no income tax on wages — overtime is untaxed by the state.
NRS 608.018, line by line
Subsection 1 covers workers paid less than 1½ times the minimum wage: overtime after 40 hours in a scheduled week, or after 8 hours in a workday unless the employer and employee have agreed to four 10-hour days. Subsection 2 gives workers at or above that rate weekly overtime only, computed under the federal regular-rate regulations.
Exempt from both: employees not covered by the state minimum wage, outside buyers, commissioned retail employees paid more than 1½ times the minimum wage, executives and professionals, workers under collective bargaining agreements that provide otherwise, motor-carrier drivers and mechanics, and railroad employees.
A “workday” is not midnight to midnight
Nevada defines the workday as the 24 hours that begin when you start work, so a shift that starts at 10 p.m. and another at 6 a.m. the next calendar day can fall in the same workday. The calculator treats each column as a workday; check your schedule if your shifts start at different times.
Two years to complain
The Labor Commissioner will not accept a claim or complaint about something that happened more than 24 months before it is filed. Nevada’s minimum wage became a single $12.00 rate in 2024; the DOL history table shows two rates in every earlier year back to 2014.
Example week
Because the daily rule only reaches lower-paid workers, this example uses Nevada’s $12.00 minimum wage and four 10-hour days — 40 hours, yet 8 of them are overtime.
