Assumptions

Estimate only. The court or state agency calculation controls.

Nevada arrears interest under NRS 125B.140(2)(c); NRS 99.040; rules last reviewed 2026-08-09.

Nevada has no single permanent arrears rate

NRS 125B.140 requires interest from the time each installment became due at the rate established under NRS 99.040.

That judgment rate is variable. Publishing one timeless percentage would be misleading.

The tool therefore preserves principal and directs you to the rate and installment ledger that control the case.

Nevada arrears interest FAQs

What is the Nevada arrears interest rate?

It is the rate established under NRS 99.040, not one permanent child-support percentage.

When does interest start?

NRS 125B.140 directs interest from the time each support amount became due.

Why is no rate calculated here?

The applicable rate and installment dates are case-specific; a fixed number could overstate or understate the balance.

Can arrears be collected later?

Nevada states there is no limitation period for an action to collect court-ordered child-support arrears.

Does the court include interest in an arrears order?

The statute directs the court to determine and include interest when reducing arrears to judgment.

Where can I get the balance?

Use the enforcing agency or court ledger and the controlling judgment.
