RSA 336:1, II sets New Hampshire’s annual simple judgment-interest formula from the last 26-week Treasury-bill auction before September 30 of the prior year, plus two percentage points, rounded to one decimal place. RSA 336:2 fixes a judgment’s rate at the rate in effect when the verdict or finding for pecuniary damages is made. StatuteRates is withholding the current numeric value until the official annual court schedule can be accessed and independently verified.
How New Hampshire post-judgment interest works
Which rate applies
RSA 336:1, II supplies the annual simple rate for judgments, including prejudgment interest. RSA 527:10 separately states that interest is payable on executions in civil actions from the time judgment is rendered. These provisions do not independently decide entitlement or every special statutory judgment.
When interest accrues
RSA 336:2, I locks the applicable rate when the verdict is rendered or the finding for pecuniary damages is made. RSA 527:10 states that post-judgment interest on a civil execution is payable from rendition. The statewide rate changes each January, but an existing judgment does not reprice each year.
Compounding and rate lock
RSA 336:1, II expressly calls this an annual simple rate. The cited statutes do not supply a universal day-count denominator, partial-payment allocation method, or treatment for every nonstandard judgment, so the general calculator remains disabled.
Official history coverage
The statutory formula dates to 1981, and a 2001 Act changed its benchmark from a 52-week to a 26-week Treasury bill. The annual court schedule reviewed for the current value was inaccessible, so StatuteRates does not publish that number or claim a complete annual history until the schedule is available and independently verified.
