INFORMATION SHEET FOR CALCULATING INTEREST
AND AMOUNT OWED ON A JUDGMENT
Under California law, the amount recoverable by a judgment creditor includes:
Costs After Judgment
A judgment creditor is entitled to reimbursement for the “reasonable and necessary” costs of enforcing a judgment. These
costs must be reported to the court within two years of the date incurred. The judgment amount includes costs ordered by
the court after the judgment. (For information on recovering costs and a detailed list of costs that can be recovered see
Code of Civil Procedure sections 685.040, 685.050 et seq., 685.070(b), and 685.090; see also “Requesting Costs and
Interest” below).

What can the judgment creditor recover?
Accrued Interest (See Code Civ. Proc., §§ 685.010, 685.020(a), and Cal. Const., art. XV, § 1.)
Interest accrues on an unpaid judgment amount at the legal rate of 10% per year (7% if the judgment debtor is a state or
local government entity) generally from the date of entry of the judgment. Interest begins to accrue on the amount of costs
added to a judgment from the date ordered by the court or from the date costs are allowed following expiration of the time
to object. (Code Civ. Proc., § 685.070(d).) Also, upon renewal of a judgment, interest begins to accrue on the day the
renewed judgment is entered. If the judgment is payable in installments, interest accrues from the date each installment is
due.
Any payments received by the judgment creditor must be “credited” in a specific order. (Code Civ. Proc., § 695.220.)
After specific costs go directly to the levying officer and to the court for fees, the judgment creditor is required to credit
payments received first toward accrued interest and then toward the judgment principal (including costs approved by the
court after entry of the judgment).
Calculation of Interest on Judgment and Amount Due
Following are various formulas and examples to assist with the calculation of interest on a judgment using a 10% interest
rate:
Calculating Daily Interest on a Judgment Using 10% Interest Rate
Following is the formula for figuring out the amount of interest earned per day on a judgment.
Formula: Total amount of judgment owed x 10% (or 0.10) = interest earned per year.
Divide that number by 365 = daily interest earned.
Example: Judgment debtor owes the judgment creditor $5,000 (the “judgment principal”).
$5,000 x 0.10 = $500
$500/365 = $1.37 daily interest
The amount of interest earned will be $1.37 per day as long as the unpaid amount remains $5,000.
Calculating the Total Amount Due, Including Interest, on the date of payment
Step 1: Calculate the amount of interest owed on the date of payment. This amount will equal the daily interest rate
calculated above, multiplied by the number of days since the court entered the final judgment.
Figure out the total number of days that have passed since the court entered the final judgment up to the day of
payment.
Multiply the total days by the amount of daily interest. The result is the amount of interest owing on the day of
payment.
Costs after judgment under Code of Civil Procedure section 685.070; and
Requesting Costs and Interest
To have costs and interest added to the enforceable amount owed, the judgment creditor must file and serve a
Memorandum of Costs After Judgment (form MC-012). On this form, the judgment creditor must include the exact
amount of all costs and accrued interest. This means the judgment creditor is responsible for calculating the amount of
interest that accrues on the judgment. It is useful to update this calculation after receiving payments.

INFORMATION SHEET FOR CALCULATING INTEREST
AND AMOUNT OWED ON A JUDGMENT
The judgment debtor owes $137 in interest on the principal of $5,000 on the date of payment.
Step 2: Add the amount of interest that has accrued to the amount of the judgment.
$5,000 judgment amount + $137 interest = $5,137.
The judgment debtor owes a total of $5,137 on the 100th day after the court entered the judgment.
Crediting Partial Payments and Recalculating the Amount Due
If the judgment debtor does not pay all that is owed at one time, the partial payments the debtor makes are credited
to the interest first and then to the judgment amount (the principal) owed.
Example: Judgment principal of $5,000.
Step 1: Calculate the amount of interest owed on the date of payment
Following the above example: $1.37 per day x 200 days. After 200 days, $274 in interest will have accrued
on the $5,000 judgment (200 days x $1.37 per day).
Step 2: Apply payment to interest
The debtor paid $1,000, which must first be used to credit the $274 of accrued interest.
That leaves a balance of $726 to be credited toward the $5,000 principal ($1,000 - $274 = $726).
Step 3: Apply remainder to principal
The remaining credit of $726 is applied to the $5,000 judgment principal ($5,000 - $726 = $4,274).
The judgment debtor now owes $4,274 on the judgment principal.
Step 4: Calculate the new daily interest rate
Daily interest would then accrue at a rate of $1.17/day.
$4,274 x 10% = $427.40 interest earned per year.
$427.40/365 = $1.17 interest earned per day.
The amount of interest that accrues in the next 100 days:
100 days x $1.17 = $117.
The new daily interest would then accrue on the principal going forward at a rate of $1.07/day:
$3,891 x 10% = $389.10/365.
Example: Assume a $5,000 judgment was entered on June 1 and paid on September 8; 100 days from the entry of
the judgment have passed.
The daily interest is $1.37 (see above calculation).
$1.37 per day x 100 days = $137 interest owed on the date of payment.
First Payment: After 200 days, the judgment debtor pays $1,000
Second Payment: After 100 days, a payment of $500 is made (calculate using steps 1–4)
1.
2.
3.
The credit of $383 is then subtracted from the judgment principal of $4,274, leaving an unpaid balance of
$3,891.
The payment of $500 must first be credited towards the interest of $117, leaving a balance of $383 to be
credited against the principal ($500 - $117 = $383).

–INFORMATION FOR JUDGMENT DEBTOR–
1. The levying officer is required to take custody of the property described in item 1 in your possession or under your control.
2. There are automatic exemptions that financial institutions should apply to a deposit account before providing funds to the
levying officer. See below for more information.
3. You may claim any available exemption for your property. A list of exemptions can be found on form EJ-155. If you wish to
claim an exemption for personal property, you must do so within 15 days after this notice was delivered to you or
20 days after this notice was mailed to you by filing a claim of exemption and one copy with the levying officer as
provided in section 703.520 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The date of filing is calculated as the date the claim is received
by the levying officer, or the date of the postmark if the claim is mailed and assigned a tracking number by the U.S. Postal
Service or another common carrier. If you do not claim an exemption, you may lose it and the property is subject to
enforcement of a money judgment. If you wish to seek the advice of an attorney, you should do so immediately so
that a claim of exemption can be filed on time.
4. You are not entitled to claim an exemption for property that is levied upon under a judgment for sale of property. This
property is described in the accompanying writ of sale. You may, however, claim available exemptions for property levied
upon to satisfy damages or costs awarded in such a judgment.
5. You may obtain the release of your property by paying the amount of a money judgment with interest and costs remaining
unpaid.
6. If your property is levied upon under a writ of execution or to satisfy damages and costs under a writ of possession or sale,
the property may be sold at an execution sale, perhaps at a price substantially below its value. Notice of sale will be given to
you. Notice of sale of real property (other than a leasehold estate with an unexpired term of less than two years) may not be
given until at least 120 days after this notice is served on you. This grace period is intended to give you an opportunity to
settle with the judgment creditor, to obtain a satisfactory buyer for the property, or to encourage other potential buyers to
attend the execution sale.
7. All sales at an execution sale are final; there is no right of redemption.
– INFORMATION FOR PERSON OTHER THAN JUDGMENT DEBTOR –
1. If the property levied upon is in your possession or under your control and you do not claim the right to possession or a
security interest, you must deliver the property to
the levying officer. If you do not deny an obligation levied upon or do not
claim a
priority over the judgment creditor's lien, you must pay to the levying officer the amount that is due and payable and
that becomes due and payable during the period of the execution lien, which lasts two years from the date of issuance of the
writ of execution. You must execute and deliver any documents needed to transfer the
property.
2. If you are a financial institution, you are required to apply applicable exemptions to deposit accounts. See below.
3. You must complete the accompanying Memorandum of Garnishee within 10 days.
4. If you claim ownership or the right to possession of real or personal property levied upon or if you claim a security interest in
or lien on personal property levied upon, you
may make a third-party claim and obtain the release of the property under
sections 720.010–720.800 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
5. Make checks payable to the levying officer shown on page 1.
NOTICE OF LEVY
(Enforcement of Judgment)
EJ-150 [Rev. September 1, 2020]
Page 2 of 2
SHORT TITLE:
– INFORMATION ABOUT DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS –
1. If the levy is not to satisfy a judgment for wages owed, child or spousal support, or liability to the state government, financial
institutions must automatically exempt money in a deposit account up to a certain dollar amount, under section 704.220 of
the Code of Civil Procedure, with no claim of exemption required. See form EJ-156 for the exemption amount.
2. Other automatic exemptions may apply to deposit accounts, such as exemptions for directly deposited social security or
public benefits under section 704.080. (See form EJ-156 for the exemption amounts.) Generally, the financial institution
should apply the larger set of exemptions that apply to an account. See section 704.220(b).
3. If a judgment debtor has multiple accounts in one or more financial institutions, either the judgment creditor or judgment
debtor may file an application in the superior court identified on the front of this form for an order as to which account the
exemption should apply. (See section 704.220(e).) To get such an order, file an Ex Parte Application for Order on Deposit
Account Exemption (form EJ-157) as soon as possible. (See EJ-157-INFO for instructions.) If the judgment debtor has more

EXEMPTIONS FROM THE ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS
The following is a list of assets that may be exempt from levy in enforcing a judgment.
Exemptions are found in the United States Code (USC) and in the California codes, primarily the Code of Civil Procedure (CCP).
Because of periodic changes in the law, the list may not include all exemptions that apply in your case. The exemptions may not apply
in full or under all circumstances. Some are not available after a certain period of time. You or your attorney should read the statutes.
If you believe the assets that are being levied on are exempt, file the claim of exemption form that you received with the Notice of Levy
packet.
EJ-155
AMOUNT OF EXEMPTIONS: For the exemption amount, please refer to the code section listed below for each type of property. The
current amounts of certain exemptions are listed in Current Dollar Amounts of Exemptions From Enforcement of Judgments (form

the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure section 703.150.
