What the sources say
The Nevada Labor Commissioner states that the minimum wage increased to $12.00 an hour on July 1, 2024, and that Nevada Ballot Question 2, passed by voters in November 2022, eliminates the two-tier minimum wage system that allowed a lower rate when an employer offered qualifying health benefits.
The DOL tipped table lists Nevada under states that require the full state minimum wage before tips, so a server must be paid $12.00 an hour in wages and keeps tips on top.
No scheduled increase appears on either source. The rate does not index to inflation in anything we could read, so $12.00 is the planning number for 2027. It is a statement of what is published, not a forecast.

Limits of this page
The converter multiplies the hourly rate by your hours and 52 weeks, with monthly as one twelfth of the year. It is gross pay before tax and ignores overtime, unpaid time off and local minimum wages that are higher than the state rate. Cities and counties in some states set their own rates, so check the place where the work is done.
