Frequently asked questions
How is post-judgment interest calculated?
Most jurisdictions apply simple interest to the judgment. A $10,000 judgment at 6% for 3 years accrues $1,800, for a total of $11,800.

Post-judgment interest rates are set by statute and vary by jurisdiction and judgment type. Check the rate that applied on the date judgment was entered, as it can stay fixed for the life of the judgment.
