Reverse Interest in Tennessee
In Tennessee, a judgment creditor is entitled to post-judgment interest at a rate set by statute, currently 8% per year. This rate is established under Tenn. Code § 47-14-121 and § 47-14-103, which govern the interest that accrues on a court judgment from the date it is entered until it is paid in full. The 8% figure is the verified rate published by the Tennessee court system. The statute does not require the creditor to take any additional steps to begin this interest; it accrues automatically by law. The calculation is straightforward, and the worked example below demonstrates how the daily interest amount is derived. For an estimate specific to your judgment amount and date, use the DocketMath calculator.
