Impact in Mississippi
Mississippi law sets the post-judgment interest rate at 8% per year under Miss. Code Ann. § 75-17-7. This rate applies automatically to all money judgments once they are entered by a court, covering the period from the date of the judgment until the full amount is paid. The statute does not require a party to request this interest; it accrues by operation of law. The 8% figure is a fixed annual rate, meaning the amount of interest owed increases each year the judgment remains unpaid. The official source linked here provides the exact statutory language and any applicable exceptions. To estimate how much interest has accumulated on a specific judgment, the calculator below performs the computation based on the judgment amount and elapsed time.
