For the six-month period beginning July 1, 2026, Nevada’s general judgment-interest rate is 8.75%. Under NRS 17.130(2), the default path uses the Nevada Financial Institutions Division prime rate immediately preceding judgment plus two percentage points, then resets each January 1 and July 1 while the judgment remains unpaid. A lawful contract, another law, the judgment itself, or qualifying consumer-form debt can require a different path.
How Nevada post-judgment interest works
Which rate applies
The headline is the general NRS 17.130(2) default when no contract, other law, or judgment-specified rate controls. NRS 97B.150 supplies a separate branch for qualifying consumer-form debt: it uses the lesser lawful contract rate or prime plus two, fixes that selected rate at judgment, bars compounding, and contains exemptions. Offer-of-judgment and other special rules also require separate analysis.
When interest accrues
General NRS 17.130 interest ordinarily runs from service of the summons and complaint until satisfaction. Amounts representing future damages begin accruing only when judgment is entered. The current formula applies to causes of action arising on or after July 1, 1987; earlier matters should not be forced into this history.
Compounding and rate lock
Nevada Supreme Court authority treats the general NRS 17.130 path as simple interest, while its rate resets every January 1 and July 1. StatuteRates keeps the payoff calculator disabled because day count, partial-payment allocation, contracts, consumer debt, offer-of-judgment consequences, future damages, and every special-law branch are not calculator-complete.
Official history coverage
The official FID table supplies 79 dated six-month selections from July 1, 1987 through July 1, 2026. Its January 1, 1987 row says Not Available, so StatuteRates preserves that gap instead of inventing a rate. Every stored general rate is the published prime value plus exactly two percentage points.
