New Hampshire Statutory Interest Rate for Civil Judgments

In New Hampshire, the statutory interest rate for civil judgments is set at 8% per year under RSA § 524:1-a and § 524:1-b, with the rate fixed by reference to RSA § 336:1. This rate applies to the principal amount of a money judgment, beginning from the date the cause of action accrued or the date of the verdict, as specified by the statute. The interest is simple, not compound, and is calculated on the outstanding balance. The law also provides for post-judgment interest at the same rate. The official statute, available at the New Hampshire General Court website, details the precise start date and any applicable exceptions. The calculator below demonstrates how the 8% rate is applied to a judgment amount over a given period. To estimate your own potential award, use the DocketMath reverse interest calculator.
