How to use it
- Enter your hourly rate. Daily overtime switches off at $18.00 or more.
- Enter hours for each day of your workweek.
- See regular and overtime hours and your total pay.
The formula
If rate < $18.00: hours over 8 in a day at 1.5×
Always: regular hours over 40 in a week at 1.5×
Example: Four 10-hour days at $16/hour: 32 regular and 8 overtime hours, $512 + $192 = $704. At $20/hour the same week has no overtime, because daily overtime doesn't apply above $18.
Good to know
- Nevada's minimum wage is $12.00 an hour from July 1, 2026, so the daily overtime cut-off is $18.00.
- Employer and employee can agree in writing to a 4 × 10 schedule, which removes daily overtime.
- Nevada counts the 8 hours in any 24-hour period starting when the shift begins, so a quick turnaround can trigger overtime; the calculator uses workdays.
