Kentucky Post-Judgment Interest Rate Under Ky. Rev. Stat. § 360.040(1)

In Kentucky, post-judgment interest accrues at 6% per year under Ky. Rev. Stat. § 360.040(1). This rate applies to the total amount of the money judgment, including any awarded costs and fees, from the date the judgment is entered until it is fully satisfied. The statute does not provide for a variable or floating rate; the 6% figure is fixed by law. The worked example below demonstrates how this simple annual rate translates into a daily accrual amount on a judgment balance. Because the total interest depends on the judgment amount and the number of days unpaid, the DocketMath calculator can compute the precise figure for any specific case.
