Payment Plan Math in Missouri
Missouri law sets a maximum interest rate of 12% per year on judgments, as specified by Mo. Rev. Stat. § 408.040. This rate applies to the unpaid principal balance of the judgment from the date it is entered until it is fully satisfied. The statute provides the legal framework for calculating post-judgment interest, including how the rate is applied over time and any exceptions that may alter the calculation. The exact formula for computing the accrual is detailed in the official source. The worked example below demonstrates how this rate translates into a specific payment amount. To estimate your own judgment’s interest, use the DocketMath calculator with your case details.
