Nevada Workers' Comp Settlement Calculator
Estimate a workers' comp settlement under Nevada law. The calculator applies this jurisdiction's own benefit rate and weekly maximum, and every figure below is the one our verified data holds, with the statute behind it and the date we checked it.
What Nevada pays, and when you must act
Workers' compensation pays a share of your wage while you cannot work, whoever was at fault, up to a weekly maximum the state sets. Two deadlines run from the injury: one for reporting it and one for filing the claim. Here is what we hold for this state.
We do not hold a verified current maximum weekly benefit for Nevada. Nevada publishes a fiscal-year maximum average MONTHLY wage rather than a weekly cap, and the FY2027 amount was not accessible. The expired FY2026 figures were a $5,468.53 monthly maximum and a $1,262.94 published weekly equivalent.
NRS 616C.020 generally requires the claim form within 90 days of the accident or of learning of an occupational disease. Our filing-deadline field counts whole years, so it cannot state a 90-day window, and rounding it to 1 year would tell you that you have roughly four times the time you actually do. Act now and ask a Nevada attorney or the Division of Industrial Relations about your deadline.
“Except as otherwise provided by NRS 616C.380, 616C.427, 616C.495, 616C.505, 616C.580 and 616C.595, the insurer shall not make or allow any lump-sum settlements.”

What Nevada pays at different wages
The weekly benefit the calculator above pays at six average weekly wages, and what that comes to over 12 weeks out of work. The numbers are the engine's output, not an editorial claim about what these claims are worth.
Temporary total disability only, run through the calculator above at each wage: no medical costs, no permanent impairment, no waiting period or limit on the number of weeks, and one rate for every week, so a different rate the state sets for part of a claim (see the note under the maximum) is not applied. We hold no verified maximum weekly benefit for Nevada, so these rows apply 66.67% with no ceiling. Nevada does cap the weekly benefit, so at the higher wages the real benefit can be lower than shown. These wages illustrate the rule; they are not an estimate of your claim.
Every Nevada deadline we hold
A claim can be more than one kind of case, and the clock is different for each. These are the Nevada periods in our verified data, with the statute behind each one. A deadline is the outside limit, never a target, and other rules can shorten it.

Every count below is read from our state-law data across all 51 jurisdictions, so it moves when the data does. What you will not find here is an average settlement figure: the only one we could compute is a model, and a model presented as a measurement is not a fact.
- 39 of the 51 jurisdictions we track pay 66.67% of the wage, the most common rate, and Nevada is one of them. It applies the rate to gross wages, as 47 of the 51 do; the rest use after-tax earnings.
- 34 of the 51 jurisdictions have a verified maximum weekly benefit in our data, and they run from $800 in Georgia to $2,431 in Iowa. Nevada is one of the 17 we hold no verified current figure for, so this page does not rank it.
- Filing deadlines for this case type run from 1 year to 4 years across the country. We hold no verified deadline for Nevada, so this page does not state one.
- In 44 of the 51 jurisdictions, the statute we read provides for settling or commuting a claim to a lump sum on the terms it states; in 4 it allows one only in the cases it names; and for 3 we could not read an official copy. Nevada is in the second group.
Comparisons are drawn from the rules that set a benefit, not from closed-claim data, which we do not hold. See the full methodology
