Nebraska post-judgment interest is currently 5.970% under Neb. Rev. Stat. §45-103, effective July 16, 2026. For judgments entered on or after July 20, 2002, the rate is the bond investment yield from the first 26-week U.S. Treasury-bill auction of the quarter plus two percentage points. The rate is fixed when judgment is entered, not reset on an existing judgment every quarter. This page includes the Nebraska Judicial Branch's complete published change-point table from January 1, 1987 forward.
How Nebraska post-judgment interest works
Which rate applies
The headline §45-103 rate applies to decrees and judgments for payment of money. It does not apply when another law specifically provides the rate or when an oral or written contract agrees a different rate.
When interest accrues
Section 45-103.01 runs interest from entry of judgment until satisfaction. An appeal does not by itself restart that date; for installment judgments, Nebraska case annotations say each installment begins accruing when it becomes due and payable.
Compounding and rate lock
The applicable rate is fixed on the judgment-entry date. Sections 45-103 and 45-103.01 do not state the day-count, compounding, or partial-payment mechanics needed for a dependable general calculator, so StatuteRates keeps the Nebraska calculator disabled pending further primary-source verification.
Official history coverage
The official Judicial Branch table contains every published change point from January 1, 1987 through the latest effective date. It also preserves the source table’s gap between March 13, 2001 and the July 20, 2002 formula transition instead of inventing missing values. The weekly pipeline checks the current court page for each new quarter.
