Indiana Code §24-4.6-1-101 sets 8% per year for its no-contract money-judgment branch. When the original contract sued upon states a rate, that rate governs after judgment, capped at 8% even if a higher contract rate was valid before judgment. Unless another statute provides otherwise, interest runs from the return of the verdict or the court’s finding until satisfaction.

How Indiana post-judgment interest works

Which rate applies

Section 24-4.6-1-101 applies to judgments for money unless another statute supplies a different rule. It uses the original contract’s stated rate, capped at 8%, when that contract states a rate; otherwise its headline branch is 8% per year.

When interest accrues

Subject to statutory exceptions, §24-4.6-1-101 runs interest from the date the verdict is returned or the court makes its finding until satisfaction. Special statutory judgments and changed or reversed judgments can require separate authority.

Compounding and rate lock

Do not apply one universal simple-interest rule. Section 24-4.6-1-104 can continue an agreed computation method after judgment for a loan or forbearance. Because this page cannot identify the underlying agreement, computation path, or partial-payment allocation, the calculator remains disabled.

Official history coverage

Indiana Code §24-4.6-1-0.1 states that the 1993 amendment to §24-4.6-1-101 applies to interest accruing after December 31, 1993, including unpaid portions of earlier judgments. The dataset therefore records January 1, 1994 as the verified change point for the current 8% ceiling and no-contract branch; it does not infer earlier rates.

Statutory basis & carve-outs. Indiana Code §24-4.6-1-101 sets 8% for its no-contract money-judgment branch. The original contract’s stated rate governs after judgment when present, capped at 8%. Interest generally runs from verdict or finding until satisfaction. Section 24-4.6-1-104 can continue an agreed computation method, so a universal simple-interest claim is not made. Section 24-4.6-1-0.1 applies the 1993 amendment to interest accruing after December 31, 1993, including unpaid earlier judgments, so January 1, 1994 is the legal change point recorded here.
