Kansas Post-Judgment Interest Rate on Money Judgments

Under Kansas law, the post-judgment interest rate on money judgments is set at 10% per annum, as specified by Kan. Stat. Ann. § 16-201. This rate applies automatically from the date the judgment is entered until it is fully satisfied. The statute does not allow for a variable or floating rate; the 10% figure is fixed by statute. The interest accrues on the total judgment amount, including any awarded costs and fees, but does not compound unless the judgment itself is modified. A worked example below demonstrates how this rate is applied to a judgment over time. For an estimate of interest on a specific judgment, use the DocketMath calculator.
