Cost Of Delay in Kansas

The cost of delay on a Kansas judgment is set by statute at 10% per year under Kan. Stat. Ann. § 16-201(a). This rate applies to the principal amount of the judgment from the date it is entered until it is paid in full. The statute does not define a separate formula for partial payments or compounding; the interest accrues simply as a fixed annual percentage on the unpaid balance. The official source at law.justia.com provides the exact statutory language, including any applicable exceptions or conditions. A worked example below illustrates how the 10% rate translates into a daily accrual figure. For a precise estimate tailored to a specific judgment amount and duration, use the DocketMath calculator.
