A. Calculation of amount upon which interest can be charged: 1. Add amount of judgment; 2. Add allowable court costs; 3. Add previously charged interests; and 4. Subtract all prior payments or credits on the judgment. If the balance due is greater than the amount of the judgment, then calculate interest on the amount of the judgment only for the date of the judgment or your last calculation of interest. If the balance due is less than the amount of the judgment, then calculate interest on the balance due from the date of the judgment or your last calculation of interest. B. Notes to the above calculations: 1. Attorney's fees that are awarded by the court are part of the judgment and interest accrues thereon. 2. Interest should be calculated to the date that you are making the calculations or filing your pleading. It should not be calculated to the return date of your wage deduction or garnishment because the debtor may satisfy the judgment prior to the return date and the creditor is not entitled to unaccrued interest. C. Recent (April 1997) case on calculation of interest: Halloran v. Dickerson 223 III.Dec.325, 679 N.E.2d 774. Holding of case is that allowable court costs and pre-judgment interest are to be added to final judgment. Interest is then calculated on the basis of a 360 day year. All payments are first applied to accrued post judgment interest and then the principal judgment. D. Notes on Court Costs: 1. Generally, all Clerk and Sheriff fees are chargeable as court costs, if included by Court Order. 2. To be chargeable, witness fees and deposition expenses should be taxed by the Court. 3. Non-chargeable court costs include levy bonds, replevin bonds and expenses related to recovery of property beyond the service of the order by the sheriff (people who assist the sheriff inn enforcing orders such as eviction movers, tow truck operators, locksmiths). 4. General rule on fee charged by private process servers: Service fees are allowed up to the same fee that could be charged by the Sheriff unless the court allows higher costs on a case by case basis.
