Quantifies the interest to plead on a debt or damages claim. Choose the
basis you are claiming under (s.35A Senior Courts Act 1981 in the High
Court, s.69 County Courts Act 1984 in the County Court, or a contractual
rate), choose a rate — a margin above the Bank of England base rate (the
usual convention, applied across base-rate changes), or a fixed rate —
and add each sum with the date interest runs from. The calculator returns
the total interest to the calculation date, the daily rate it continues
at, and a ready-to-paste pleading sentence. Statutory interest under
s.35A / s.69 is simple and discretionary ("such rate as the court thinks
fit"); base rate plus 1–2% is a common convention, not an entitlement.
Interest for Pleadings (s.35A & s.69)
Quantify statutory or contractual interest for a particulars of claim — across one or several sums, with a daily rate and a draft pleading sentence.
