Late Payment Calculator: Compute Interest on Overdue Invoices

Calculate the interest owed on any overdue invoice using this free late payment interest calculator.

What Is a Late Payment Calculator?

A late payment calculator computes the interest or penalty charges on an invoice that has not been paid by its due date. You enter the overdue amount, the number of days past due, and the interest rate, and the calculator shows the total interest owed.

Many businesses include a late payment clause in their invoice terms, such as 1.5% per month on overdue balances. This tool calculates the exact charge.

Why Charge Late Payment Interest?

Late payments hurt your cash flow. If your money is sitting in a client's bank instead of yours, you are essentially giving them an interest-free loan. Charging late fees compensates you for this delay and motivates prompt payment.

Even if you rarely enforce it, having a late fee clause discourages late payment behaviour.

How to Calculate Late Payment Interest

Multiply the overdue amount by the daily or monthly interest rate and then multiply by the number of days or months overdue.

This calculator handles the date and rate calculations for you automatically.

Including Late Fees on Invoices

Always state your late payment policy on the original invoice. Something like: Interest of 1.5% per month will be charged on invoices not paid within 30 days of the due date.

Use the Tez Invoice free invoice generator to add payment terms and late fee clauses to your invoices.

Sending a Late Payment Notice

When an invoice becomes overdue, send a payment reminder immediately. If it remains unpaid for a week or more, follow up with a formal notice that includes the original amount, overdue days, and calculated interest.

Being consistent and professional in overdue follow-up significantly improves your collection rate.
