Nevada Minimum Wage 2026: $12.00 an Hour, No Tip Credit
Independently fact-checked against primary sources (last audited September 30, 2026). · 6 primary sources cited on this page. How we verify our legal content
Nevada's minimum wage is $12.00 per hour, in force since July 1, 2024 and set by Article 15, Section 16 of the Nevada Constitution. It is one rate for every covered employee, and tips cannot be counted toward it. The constitution contains no scheduled increase and no inflation adjustment, so nothing in it steps the rate up on January 1, 2027.
That rate is far above the federal $7.25 (29 U.S.C. 206(a)(1)(C)), which means the state figure is what most Nevada workers must be paid. This page also explains why the state statute, NRS 608.250, still shows an $11.00 figure that no longer applies. For the full picture of every state, see our guide to minimum wage by state.

Jurisdiction scope: This page covers Nevada's minimum wage under Article 15, Section 16 of the Nevada Constitution and NRS Chapter 608, and how it interacts with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). It does not cover overtime rules in detail, other Nevada wage laws beyond a short pointer, or any other state.
What is the Nevada minimum wage?
Section 16(1) of Article 15 provides: "Except as otherwise provided in this section, beginning July 1, 2024, each employer shall pay a wage to each employee of not less than twelve dollars ($12) per hour worked." The amendment was proposed by the 2019 Legislature, agreed to by the 2021 Legislature and ratified by voters at the 2022 General Election.
| Rate | Effective | Who it covers |
|---|---|---|
| $12.00 per hour | July 1, 2024 | Every employee covered by Section 16, with no health-benefit tier and no separate tipped rate |
The constitutional text sets one figure. It does not offer a lower rate for employers that provide health benefits, and the text opened for this page has no such clause.
Why does NRS 608.250 still show $11.00?
The Nevada Revised Statutes are printed by the Legislative Counsel Bureau, and NRS 608.250 still reads as a two-tier schedule for July 1, 2024: $11.00 per hour if the employer offers health benefits and $12.00 if it does not. That schedule appears in both printed versions of the section, the one effective through December 31, 2027 and the one effective January 1, 2028.
The amended constitution has no health-benefit tier, and the constitution controls where a statute prints something different. A worker should treat $12.00 as the rate and should not treat $11.00 as a lawful current tier. If an employer points to the $11.00 line in NRS 608.250, the constitutional text above is the answer.
NRS 608.250 is still worth knowing about because it is the section the Labor Commissioner enforces (NRS 608.270(1)(a)), and it is the statute that carries the misdemeanor and administrative-penalty consequences discussed below.
Will the Nevada minimum wage go up in 2027?
No increase is scheduled. Section 16 has no annual adjustment, no consumer price index formula and no year-by-year schedule. The rate can rise in only two ways:
- Federal minimum above $12.00. Section 16(2) says that if the federal minimum wage is ever greater than $12 per hour, each employer must pay at least the federal rate. The federal minimum is $7.25, and it changes only if Congress passes and the President signs a bill (DOL Wage and Hour Division FAQ).
- Legislature raises it. Section 16(3) says the Legislature may establish by law a minimum wage greater than the rate the section requires.
Some sources say Nevada adjusts its minimum wage for inflation. That is not what Section 16 says. Because no annual rate is announced, there is nothing to wait for each January.
The Nevada Secretary of State's 2026 ballot question booklet says only two statewide measures will appear on the November 3, 2026 ballot, both repeats from 2024 (Questions 6 and 7), and that none of the petitions circulated this year received enough valid signatures to qualify. No new minimum wage petition made the ballot.
Tipped employees in Nevada
Nevada has no tip credit. Section 16(4) says: "Tips or gratuities received by employees shall not be credited as being any part of or offset against the wage rates required by this section." A server, bartender or other tipped worker must receive $12.00 per hour in wages before tips.
The federal FLSA lets employers in many states pay a cash wage as low as $2.13 and count tips toward the rest (DOL tipped-wage table), but that federal allowance does not lower what Nevada requires. Under 29 U.S.C. 218(a), the FLSA does not excuse noncompliance with a state minimum wage that is higher than the federal one. The federal rule that an employer may not keep employees' tips, including letting managers or supervisors keep any portion, still applies in every state (29 U.S.C. 203(m)(2)(B)).
Who is not covered, and are there lower rates?
Nevada's constitution has no general youth subminimum and no training wage that applies across the board. Section 16(8)(a) defines "employee" to exclude an employee under 18 who is employed by a nonprofit organization for after-school or summer employment, or as a trainee for a period not longer than 90 days.
Other limits in the law:
- Collective bargaining agreements. Section 16(5) allows the section's requirements to be waived only through a bona fide collective bargaining agreement, and the waiver must be explicit and unambiguous.
- NRS 608.255. This section says certain relationships are not employment for minimum wage purposes, including a principal and an independent contractor and certain providers of certified jobs and day training services for participants with intellectual or developmental disabilities.
The federal FLSA has its own youth and special-certificate rates, such as $4.25 for the first 90 days for a new employee under 20 (29 U.S.C. 206(g)). Those are federal floors. Nevada's $12.00 is the higher standard, and 29 U.S.C. 218(a) does not excuse an employer from paying it.
Do Nevada cities and counties set their own minimum wage?
This page lists no city or county minimum wage for Nevada, because none was verified. The constitutional section and NRS Chapter 608, as reviewed for this page, contain no clause preempting local minimum wage ordinances, but the absence of a clause in those two places does not prove that no other Nevada law addresses the question. Nothing here should be read as saying Nevada cities can or cannot set a higher rate. Ask the Nevada Office of the Labor Commissioner whether a local rate applies where you work.
How the federal minimum wage fits in
The FLSA sets $7.25 per hour (29 U.S.C. 206(a)(1)(C)), and 29 U.S.C. 218(a) says nothing in it excuses noncompliance with a state law establishing a higher minimum wage. DOL puts it this way: where an employee is subject to both the state and federal minimum wage laws, the employee is entitled to the higher rate. In Nevada that higher rate is $12.00, unless Section 16 excludes the employee. Read the federal rules on our federal minimum wage page.
How to file a Nevada minimum wage claim
There are two routes, and they can be used together.
Court action. Section 16(7) entitles an employee to bring an action against the employer in Nevada courts and to all remedies available under law or in equity that are appropriate, including back pay, damages, reinstatement or injunctive relief. An employee who prevails is awarded reasonable attorney's fees and costs. NRS 608.260(1) provides that the employee may, at any time within 2 years, bring a civil action against the employer. Section 16(7) itself states no limitation period, so do not assume a longer window without checking with a Nevada lawyer.
Labor Commissioner. The Labor Commissioner administers and enforces NRS 608.250 (NRS 608.270(1)(a)). Under NRS 608.290, a violation of NRS 608.250 is a misdemeanor, and the Labor Commissioner may impose an administrative penalty of not more than $5,000 for each violation. The Labor Commissioner's website could not be opened for this page, so contact the Nevada Office of the Labor Commissioner directly for its current complaint process.
Retaliation. Section 16(6) says an employer shall not discharge, reduce the compensation of or otherwise discriminate against an employee for using civil remedies to enforce the section or otherwise asserting rights under it.
Federal complaint. DOL's Wage and Hour Division takes complaints at 1-866-487-9243. Under 29 U.S.C. 216(b) an employer who violates the federal minimum wage owes unpaid wages plus an equal amount as liquidated damages, and a federal suit generally must start within two years, or three for a willful violation (29 U.S.C. 255(a)). For a missing final check, see Nevada final paycheck laws and our guide to unpaid wages.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum wage in Nevada in 2026?
$12.00 per hour, effective July 1, 2024, under Nevada Constitution Article 15, Section 16(1). It is one rate with no health-benefit tier.
Will Nevada's minimum wage go up in 2027?
Section 16 schedules no increase and has no inflation indexing. It rises only if the federal minimum exceeds $12.00 (Section 16(2)) or the Legislature sets a higher rate by law (Section 16(3)).
Why does NRS 608.250 say $11.00 if the minimum wage is $12.00?
The printed statute still shows a two-tier schedule, $11.00 with health benefits and $12.00 without. The amended constitution has a single $12.00 rate and controls.
Does Nevada have a tipped minimum wage?
No. Section 16(4) bars crediting tips against the required wage, so tipped employees are owed the full $12.00 per hour before tips.
Is there a Nevada minimum wage measure on the November 2026 ballot?
The Secretary of State's 2026 ballot booklet says only two statewide measures, Questions 6 and 7, repeats from 2024, will appear and that no petition qualified.
How long do I have to sue for unpaid minimum wage in Nevada?
NRS 608.260(1) provides that an employee may bring a civil action at any time within 2 years. A prevailing employee is awarded attorney's fees and costs under Section 16(7).
Can my employer fire me for asking about minimum wage in Nevada?
No. Section 16(6) prohibits discharging, reducing pay or otherwise discriminating against an employee for using civil remedies to enforce the section or asserting rights under it.
Is the Nevada minimum wage higher than the federal minimum wage?
Yes. Nevada's $12.00 exceeds the federal $7.25, and 29 U.S.C. 218(a) does not excuse noncompliance with a higher state minimum wage.
