Post-judgment interest
Nevada's post-judgment interest rate is 8.75% per year. 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.

Prejudgment interest
Nevada's generic current prejudgment percentage is withheld: Current unavailable — last recorded 8.75%. Nevada prejudgment interest can depend on NRS 99.040 and the legally relevant January 1 or July 1 prime-rate selection. StatuteRates is not publishing a current numeric prejudgment value until the official NRS 99.040 benchmark publication is reconciled with the distinct verified NRS 17.130 judgment-rate notice. The two branches must not be assumed identical.

Frequently asked
What is the post-judgment interest rate in Nevada?
As of July 1, 2026, the Nevada post-judgment interest rate is 8.75% per year. Nevada’s official semiannual prime-plus-two judgment-rate history.
What is the prejudgment interest rate in Nevada?
Nevada has no published generic current prejudgment percentage in StatuteRates: Current unavailable — last recorded 8.75%. The official July 1, 2026 benchmark and the 8.75% NRS 99.040 statutory reference are verified. A generic current prejudgment number is still withheld because entitlement, the covered transaction category and date, the written-contract branch, book/store-account timing, and statutory exclusions cannot safely be flattened into one value.
Is Nevada judgment interest simple or compound, and when does it start?
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. 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.
