INSTRUCTIONS FOR CALCULATING PREJUDGMENT INTEREST
If you are claiming prejudgment interest, you must show how the prejudgment interest should
be calculated.
Determining Due Date
First, you must determine the date the principal became due. That date will be:
In Tort Cases (that is, cases involving damage to property, personal injury, or death)
AS 09.30.070(b)
1. The date agreed upon by the parties; or
2. If there is no such agreement, the earliest of the following:
a. The date process is served on the defendant; or
b. The date the defendant received written notification that an injury occurred and
that a claim may be brought against the defendant.
In All Other Cases
AS 45.45.010
1. The date stated in a written contract or agreement, or
2. If there is no written contract or agreement, the date the principal was due (for
example, the date an account or debt became payable or the date the parties
agreed the debt would be paid) or the date the debtor refuses to pay. Hoffman v.
von Wirth, 907 P.2d 454, 455 and footnote 2 (Alaska 1995).
REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION. In tort cases and in all other cases, you must file written
documentation with the court showing the date the principal became due. Examples of such
documentation are: a written contract, a payment ledger, an invoice, an affidavit setting out
the terms of the parties’ oral agreement, a copy of a letter to the defendant giving written
notification of the claim, etc.
Interest Rate
Next, you must determine the interest rate. If you have a contract or promissory note that
states what the interest rate will be, use that rate (and attach a copy of your contract or the
original promissory note). If there is no contract interest rate, the rate will usually be the rate
(set by a statutory formula) for the year the court enters the judgment in your case.** For a
judgment entered in 2018, use 5% as your interest rate unless one of the exceptions described
in the footnote below applies. Use form ADM-505 to find the interest rate for other years:
https://public.courts.alaska.gov/web/forms/docs/adm-505.pdf.
Calculation of Interest
Next, you must show the court your interest calculations. See page 3 for the calculations you
must show if you have received no payments since filing the complaint. See page 4 for the
calculations you must show if you have received any payments since filing the complaint.
th
** AS 09.30.070(a) sets the rate at “three percentage points above the 12
Federal Reserve District
discount rate in effect on January 2 of the year in which the judgment or decree is entered.”
Exceptions: This rate does not apply if: (1) there is a contract that sets a different rate, (2) there is a
statute that sets a different rate, or (3) the cause of action accrued before August 7, 1997 (in which
case the rate will be 10.5%.) In general, a cause of action “accrues” when a suit may be maintained
thereon, that is, when sufficient events have occurred to support a valid lawsuit (for example, when
injury or damage occurs or when a contract is breached).

No Payments Received
If you have received no payments since filing the complaint, show the following:
1. The principal amount stated on your complaint and the date it became due.
(This will be the date prejudgment interest begins.)
2. Your calculation of the amount of interest due using the following formula:
Principal

Interest

Amount
Rate

Due for that Period
“No. of Days” means the number of days between the date the principal became due and
the date you file your Default Affidavit.
3. Add the interest to the original principal and show the new balance due.
EXAMPLE
Sample case: Complaint is filed September 15, 2018 claiming $1,000. The money has been
due since March 16, 2018. Defendant does not answer complaint, so on November 22, 2018,
plaintiff files Default Affidavit with the following prejudgment interest calculations attached:

Payments Received
If you have received payments since filing the complaint, attach a separate sheet showing the
following:
1. The principal amount due (not including any interest) and the date it became due.
2. The date and amount of the defendant’s first payment.
3. Your calculation of the amount of interest due between those two dates, using the formula
shown in paragraph 2 on page 3. “No. of Days” means the number of days between the
date the principal became due and the date of the first payment.
4. Deduct the interest amount calculated in step 3 from the defendant’s payment. Then
deduct the rest of the payment from the principal owed to you to get the balance still due.
5. If there was a second payment, show the date it was made and amount. Then show your
interest calculation for the period between the first and second payments. (“No. of Days”
means the number of days between the two payments.) Subtract that amount of interest
from the payment, and then apply the rest to reduce the balance due. Repeat if there were
more payments.
6. Calculate the amount of interest which has accrued from the date of the last payment to the
date you file your Default Affidavit. Add this to the previous balance due and show the final
balance due.
EXAMPLE
1. Principal amount and date it became due: $1,000 due March 16, 2018
2. Defendant’s first payment (after complaint filed): $100 on September 22, 2018
