Payment Plan Math in Hawaii

Hawaii law allows a creditor to charge up to 10% per year on a payment plan balance, as set by Haw. Rev. Stat. § 478-2. This statute governs the maximum interest rate on any judgment or agreement that does not specify a different rate in writing. The law applies a simple annual rate, meaning interest accrues only on the unpaid principal. The official source provides the exact statutory language and any exceptions. To understand how this rate applies to a specific balance or payment schedule, the calculator below uses the statute's framework to generate a worked example.
