Nevada overtime 2026: $16 × 44 hours pays $736, not $704

Nevada follows the federal FLSA weekly-40 rule, not California daily overtime. At $16/hour, 44 hours = $736 (4 hours at $24). The same 44 hours as four 11-hour days in California pay $800.

Nevada does not add a daily overtime statute on top of the Fair Labor Standards Act. For a non-exempt hourly job, overtime starts after 40 hours in one workweek. How those hours sat on Monday versus Thursday does not change the federal math.

At $16/hour and 44 hours:

  • Straight 40 × $16 = $640
  • Overtime 4 × $24 = $96
  • Week = $736
  • Straight 44 × $16 would have been $704. The extra $32 is the time-and-a-half.

That is the live FLSA overtime calculator.

The same 44 hours as four 11-hour days in California pay $800, because Labor Code § 510 also looks at each day. Nevada does not.

The Florida leftover used a different rate and week: $18 × 48 hours → $936. Texas leftover: $22 × 45 hours → $1,045. Same statute. Different stub.

Washington / Nevada paycheck leftover is a salary story, not this week: $90,000 → $2,702.04.

Gross wages, not take-home

Both overtime tools stop at weekly gross. They do not withhold FIT or FICA. Overtime dollars are still wages. Employee FICA (6.2% up to the $184,500 2026 Social Security wage base, plus 1.45% Medicare) applies the same way as on straight time (Topic 751). This page does not invent a Nevada income-tax rate.

Direct answer: $16 × 44 → $736

  1. Hours over 40 = 4
  2. Overtime rate = $16 × 1.5 = $24
  3. Regular pay = 40 × $16 = $640
  4. Overtime pay = 4 × $24 = $96
  5. Weekly total = $736
FLSA weekly-40 (29 U.S.C. § 207(a)(1))

overtime hours = max(0, hours in the workweek − 40)

weekly total = (straight hours × rate) + (OT hours × 1.5 × rate)

Nevada vs California on the same 44 hours

RuleHow the 44 hours sitWeek
Nevada / FLSAAny 44 hours in one week$736
Straight time (no OT)44 × $16$704
Four 11-hour days (CA daily OT)4 × 11$800
California 2 × 14 + 2 × 8Two 14-hour days and two 8-hour days$832

Four 11-hour days in California add 12 daily overtime hours (3 per day). That week is $800. Pack the same 44 hours into two 14-hour days plus two eights and California adds double time after 12. That week is $832. Nevada still pays $736 either way. Run the daily split on the California overtime calculator.

What Nevada still is not

  • A daily 8-hour trigger. Four 11-hour days are still 44 hours, so Nevada still pays the same $736. The extra four hours are weekly, not daily.
  • A salaried exemption test. Being paid a salary does not by itself turn overtime off. That is a classification question, not this engine.
  • Two jobs added together. Each employer counts only its own hours.

Salary vs hourly at a different rate: $25 × 50 hours → $1,375.

Not under the federal FLSA tool this site ships. Nevada does not overlay California's 8 / 12 / seventh-day statute. Confirm your contract and any local rule. This page is weekly-40 only.

Because 4 hours sit over 40. Those hours pay $24, not $16. 4 × $8 extra = $32.

California pays $800 at $16. Nevada still pays $736. The difference is the daily statute, not a tax.
