Pre Post Offer Damages Split in Illinois

In Illinois, the statutory interest rate on both prejudgment and post-judgment damages is set at 9% per annum under 735 ILCS 5/2-1303. The statute governs the entire period from the date the cause of action accrues through the satisfaction of the judgment, meaning the same rate applies before and after the court enters a final judgment. The law does not distinguish between pre- and post-offer damages for interest calculation purposes; interest accrues continuously at this fixed rate on the total amount recovered. The worked example below illustrates how this uniform rate applies over time. Use the DocketMath calculator to estimate the interest on your specific claim by entering your own dates and principal amount.
