Maryland’s general judgment interest rate is 10% per year under Md. Code, Courts and Judicial Proceedings §11-107(a).

Section 11-106 supplies a separate rule for qualifying contracts for the loan of money.

How Maryland post-judgment interest works

Which rate applies

The 10% headline is the general §11-107(a) rate. Subsection (b) sets 6% for a money judgment for residential rent. Subsection (c) sets delinquent real- or personal-property tax judgments at the greater of 10% or the combined Tax–Property Article interest and penalty rates.

When interest accrues

For a qualifying action arising from a contract for the loan of money, §11-106 generally applies the contract rate to unpaid principal until the contract’s originally scheduled maturity. Mortgage and deed-of-trust loans are excluded, and student loans have an additional statutory caveat.

Compounding and rate lock

The statutory percentages and major branches are recorded, but the dataset does not yet model every day-count, compounding, maturity, payment-allocation, tax, rent, and loan-contract rule needed for a dependable Maryland calculator.

Official history coverage

Statutory basis & carve-outs. Maryland Courts and Judicial Proceedings §11-107 sets a 10% general judgment rate, a 6% rate for residential-rent judgments, and a delinquent-property-tax rate equal to the greater of 10% or the combined Tax–Property interest and penalty rates. Section 11-106 separately applies the contract rate to unpaid principal for qualifying loan-of-money judgments until originally scheduled maturity, with mortgage, deed-of-trust, and student-loan caveats.
