Why does civil correction change index on 08/30/2024?
Because Law 14,905/2024 amended CC arts. 389 and 406 starting that date, separating monetary correction (IPCA) from interest (Legal Rate); before that, the STJ had set in Theme 1,368 that full SELIC, already including interest, was the rate under the old art. 406.
Does a labor calculation use the same time mark as a civil calculation?
Not exactly: the labor preset adds its own mark, the ADC 58 modulation on 08/30/2021, which splits the pre-filing phase (IPCA-E) from the judicial phase (exclusive SELIC), in addition to the same general 08/30/2024 mark from Law 14,905/2024 that also applies to civil cases.
Does moral damage correction run from the date of the fact or the sentence?
Monetary correction runs from the arbitration date of the amount, per STJ Súmula 362; default interest runs from the harmful event, per STJ Súmula 54. The two dates differ, and the calculator handles each in its own segment.
Does a partial payment abate the principal amount first?
No: CC art. 354 requires imputing each payment first to accrued interest and only then to the corrected principal. The calculator cuts the period at the payment date and follows that order, without compounding interest on interest.
