Payday loans in Nevada: limits and your rights

By Petrov Andriy, founder and editor · AI-assisted desk research

QUICK ANSWER

Nevada has no cap on payday loan fees, so costs can be very high. The main limits: a deferred deposit loan cannot exceed 25% of your expected gross monthly income, the original term cannot exceed 35 days, and repayment cannot be extended beyond 90 days from the start. If you default, lenders must offer a repayment plan. Interest rates on these loans range from 40% to over 1,000%, according to the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada.

The 25% income limit

Our arithmetic: with $3,200 gross monthly income, a deferred deposit loan cannot exceed $800. Lenders must check the state database so that the loan, together with your other outstanding loans, stays within that limit (NRS 604A.5017 ↗).

Repayment plans

Under Nevada law, the first payment in a repayment plan cannot be more than 20% of the amount due, and the repayment period must be at least 90 days (Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada ↗). Ask for one in writing before you default.

Legal help

The Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada runs a consumer rights project on payday and title loans (LACSN ↗). Complaints about licensees go to the Nevada Financial Institutions Division.

Cheaper options to compare

A payday alternative loan from a federal credit union (APR capped at 28%).
A cash advance app — compare costs with our fee calculator.
Asking the company you owe for more time or a payment plan.
If you already owe a payday loan: extended payment plans and getting out of payday debt.
