Pre Post Offer Damages Split in Wisconsin

In Wisconsin, the statutory offer of settlement statute governs how pre-offer and post-offer damages are split, with a 12% interest penalty applied to post-offer damages when the offer is rejected and the final judgment is more favorable to the offeror than the offer itself. Under Wis. Stat. § 807.01, if a party makes a formal written offer to settle, and the opposing party rejects it but later recovers a judgment that is at least as favorable as the offer, the court must adjust the damages accordingly. The rule separates damages incurred before the offer from those accruing after it, adding 12% interest on the post-offer portion. The official statute at the provided source details the calculation method. The calculator below applies this formula to your specific case.
