Reverse Interest in Florida

Under Florida law, the statutory interest rate on a judgment is set at 8.25 percent per year, as provided in Fla. Stat. § 55.03(1). This rate applies to the principal amount of the judgment from the date it is entered until it is satisfied. The statute does not create a separate "reverse interest" rule; instead, any pre-judgment or post-judgment interest calculation follows the same statutory rate. The exact method for computing interest, including any adjustments or compounding details, is defined in the statute. DocketMath's calculator applies this rate automatically using the official formula. To estimate interest on a specific judgment, use the calculator with your case details.
