Checked against Nevada agency and statute sources on 26 October 2026. Sources are listed at the end of this section.
| Minimum wage | $12.00 an hour (US DOL state table, 1 July 2026; the Labor Commissioner’s 2026 bulletin could not be read). |
|---|---|
| Daily overtime | Employees paid less than 1.5 times the state minimum wage, under $18.00 an hour, earn premium pay after 8 hours in a single day or 40 in a week. At $18.00 or more, only the 40-hour weekly rule applies (US DOL). |
| Payday rule | Semimonthly; monthly is allowed for executive, administrative and professional staff (US DOL payday table). |
| State income tax | None. Nevada does not tax salaries, wages or similar pay (Nevada Department of Taxation). |
| Employer payroll tax | Modified Business Tax: 1.17% of a general business employer’s wages since 1 July 2023, with the first $50,000 of wages not taxed (NRS 363B.110). It is a tax on the business, not a paycheck deduction. |
Nevada is one of the few states that counts overtime by the day as well as by the week, but only for lower-paid work. A worker earning under one and a half times the minimum wage, under $18.00 an hour at the current $12.00 rate, gets premium pay for hours past 8 in a single day, even in a week under 40 hours. A worker paid $18.00 or more is on the federal-style weekly rule only. Check the exemptions in the Labor Commissioner’s guidance before you count a long shift as overtime.
A Nevada paycheck has no state income tax line. The state taxes payroll on the employer side instead: the Modified Business Tax takes 1.17% of a general business’s wages above the first $50,000, and financial institutions pay 1.554%. Every employer must file the return even when no tax is due.
The tax base is the gross wages and reported tips an employer pays in a calendar quarter, the same figure it reports for unemployment insurance, less the health care benefits it pays for its employees. Non-profit organizations, Indian tribes, political subdivisions and employers with only household employees are outside the tax. A Nevada resident who only earns wages files no state income tax return at all; the federal return goes to the IRS as usual.

| Federal income tax (2026 brackets, standard deduction) | −$36.92 |
| Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) | −$79.56 |

| Take-home per year ($24,960 gross) | $22,165 |
Nothing is missing from this table in Nevada: there is no state income tax and no state payroll deduction from the worker’s pay. At $12.00 an hour daily overtime applies: a full-time schedule of 8-hour days earns none, but hours past 8 in any one day earn premium pay even when the week stays under 40.
