Reverse Interest in Indiana

Under Indiana law, the reverse interest rate is 6%, as set by Ind. Code § 24-4.6-1-101. This statute governs the interest payable when a judgment is reversed on appeal and the appellant must repay money collected under the original judgment. The rule applies the same statutory rate used for pre-judgment interest, calculated from the date the appellant received payment to the date of repayment. The official source provides the exact statutory language and any applicable exceptions. The specific formula for computing the amount depends on the principal sum and the time period involved. A worked example below demonstrates this calculation. To estimate your own potential reverse interest amount, use the DocketMath calculator.
