Interest Rates on Judgments in the Federal Courts 

Effective December 21, 2000, the post-judgment interest rate is the weekly average one-year constant maturity Treasury yield for the calendar week preceding the date of the entry of the judgment.  Rates for judgments entered prior to December 21, 2000, are based on the auction of 52 week T-bills.

Effective October 11, 2016, the Federal Reserve Board no longer publishes the Selected Interest Rates (H.15) in PDF format or publish weekly and monthly averages directly on the H.15. Weekly and monthly averages continue to be available through the Board's Data Download Program or by accessing the weekly average rates on the St. Louis Federal Reserve Banks' economic database.  The H.15 will be published at 4:15pm every business day (excluding holidays).   

Please visit the US Courts web page on Post Judgment  Interest Rates for more detailed information.
