Frequently asked
What is the post-judgment interest rate in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire has no published generic current post-judgment percentage in StatuteRates: Current unavailable — last recorded 5.7%. The statutory annual formula and rate-lock rule are accessible, but the official 2026 Judicial Branch schedule is inaccessible and the prior 5.7% value could not be independently corroborated. The numeric value is withheld.
What is the prejudgment interest rate in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire has no published generic current prejudgment percentage in StatuteRates: Current unavailable — last recorded 5.7%. The statutory annual formula and rate-lock rule are accessible, but the official 2026 Judicial Branch schedule is inaccessible and the prior 5.7% value could not be independently corroborated. The numeric value is withheld.
Is New Hampshire judgment interest simple or compound, and when does it start?
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. 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.
