How is interest calculated on a money judgment?

That answer will vary from state to state. In California, you can collect 10% per year on the oustanding balance. You take 10% of the outstanding judgment and divided that number by 365 to obtain the daily rate of interest. Multiply the number of days since the entry of judgment. Payments are applied to interest first and then to the principle. The interest is not capitalized.

Your specific question and situation requires a legal opinion. This answer is a general one only. That having been said... Judgments, being legal actions, usually accrue interest according the terms set by the judge when the judgment is granted. So paying the creditor would not stop the interest unless that continency was covered in the disposition.
