Cost Of Delay in Utah
Under Utah Code Ann. § 15-1-1(2), the statutory interest rate on a judgment is 10% per annum. This fixed rate applies to the entire principal amount of the judgment from the date it is entered until fully satisfied. The law sets a single, non-variable rate, meaning no court or party adjusts it based on market conditions or other factors. The calculation itself is straightforward: the judgment amount multiplied by the annual rate, then prorated for the time the judgment remains unpaid. The worked example below demonstrates this computation. For an estimate tailored to your judgment’s date and balance, use the DocketMath calculator.
