A new state law will keep medical debt off your credit report, sparing a hit to your all-important credit score. This is a big deal for California where millions struggle with unpaid medical bills. It takes effect Jan. 1, 2025.
Generally, any unpaid principal balance collects interest at 10%, or 7% if the debtor is a government agency. This general rule applies to any judgment against a business or government agency, or when the debtor owes $200,000 or more.
Typically, a judgment can be renewed multiple times for 10 years, with a 10% interest rate on any unpaid balance. However, some judgments for medical expenses or personal debt can only be renewed once for 5 years, with a 5% interest rate.
You can add interest at any time while the judgment is active. Generally, any unpaid principal balance collects interest at 10%, or 7% if the debtor is a government agency. This general rule applies to any judgment against a business or government agency, or when the debtor owes $200,000 or more.
Example: If your judgment is $5,000: $5,000 (total judgment) x 0.10 (10% interest) = $500 (yearly interest) Divide by 365: $500 (yearly interest) ÷ 365 (days in a year) = $1.37 (daily interest) Multiply the daily interest by the number of days since the court entered the judgment.
Formula: (Total amount of judgment owed) × (applicable interest rate) = interest earned per year. That number divided by 365 = amount of daily interest. Step 1: Calculate the daily interest on a judgment. This is the amount of interest earned per day on a judgment.
The legal rate of interest is the highest rate of interest that can be legally charged on any type of debt. Certain types of debt may carry a higher legal rate than another. The limits are set to prevent lenders from charging borrowers excessive interest rates.
HOW TO CALCULATE POST JUDGMENT INTEREST Take your judgment amount and multiply it by your post judgment rate (%). Take the total and divide it by 365 (the number of days in a year). You will end up with the amount of post judgment interest per day.
