Missouri’s general non-tort money-judgment branch is 9% under Mo. Rev. Stat. §408.040, subject to its contract-rate rule. StatuteRates is not publishing a current numeric rate for the separate tort branch because the statute refers to the ‘intended Federal Funds Rate’ and the reviewed Federal Reserve series do not resolve whether that means a target-bound or effective-rate value. The tort branch remains unavailable rather than guessed.

Statutory basis & carve-outs. Post-judgment interest under Mo. Rev. Stat. §408.040: NON-TORT/contract judgments bear 9% fixed (or the contract rate if higher); TORT judgments bear the intended Federal Funds rate + 5% — currently about 8.75% (variable). Simple interest. Verify at revisor.mo.gov; not legal advice.
