Examples of Interest Calculations Since Judgment

Judgment entered on May 21, 1999 for $74,347

Interest from 5/21/99 to 6/30/99

The period from May 21 to June 30, 1999 represents 41 days of the 181 days from January through June. Thus, we are dealing with 41/181 of the six month period, which represents .22652.

Multiply this amount by the interest rate for this period divided by 2 (since the interest rate is an annual rate) and then multiply by the judgment to give the interest for this period.

The interest rate for this time period is 5.8335%.

Thus the calculations for interest for these 41 days is as follows:

.22652 x (.058335 ÷ 2) x $74,347= $491.21

Interest from 7/1/99 to 12/31/99
The annual interest rate applicable to this six-month period is 6.067%. The calculations are as follows:

(.06067 ÷ 2) x $74,347= $2,255.32.

Interest from 1/1/00 to 5/21/00
Since interest is compounded annually, the interest to the one-year anniversary of the judgment needs to be calculated. There are 140 days from January 1 until May 21, so of the 181 days in this six-month period, this represents .77348 of the six months. The interest rate for this period is 6.7563%, and so the calculations are as follows:

.77348 x (.067563 ÷ 2) x $74,347 = $1,942.64.

Compounding interest for the first year
The above interest amounts are then added to the judgment.

$74,347 + 491.21 + 2,255.32 + 1,942.64 = $79,036.17

Interest from 5/21/00 to 6/30/00
This calculation is the same as for the corresponding time period in the prior year, as shown above, except the interest rate for this time period is used (6.7563%) and the judgment with the first year’s interest is used.

.22652 x (.067563 ÷ 2) x $79,036.17 = $604.80

Interest from 7/1/00 to 12/31/00
This calculation is again the same as the corresponding time above, except using the new interest rate and the judgment with the first year’s interest compounded.

(.07473 ÷ 2) x $79,036.17 = $2,953.19

Interest from 1/1/01 to 5/21/01

.77348 x (.06965 ÷ 2) x $79,036.17 = $2,128.95

Compounding of interest for second year

$79,036.17 + 604.80 + 2,953.19 + 2,128.95 = $84,723.11

Interest from 5/21/01 to 6/30/01

.22652 x (.06965 ÷ 2) x $84,723.11 = $668.34

Interest from 7/1/01 to 12/31/01

(.05782 ÷ 2) x $84,723.11 = $2,449.35

Judgment plus interest through 12/30/01

$84,723.11 + $688.34 + $2,449.35 = $87,860.80

The amount due through 12/30/01 is $87,860.80
