FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the late fee calculator really free?

Yes. It's completely free to use, with no limits and no signup required.

Are the EU and UK rate presets exact statutory rates?

No. They're approximations for convenience. The EU Late Payment Directive uses the ECB reference rate + 8 percentage points, and the UK Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act uses the Bank of England base rate + 8%. Both reference rates move over time, so always check the current published rate for your invoice date before charging interest.

How is the accrued interest calculated?

Simple daily interest: invoice amount × (annual rate ÷ 365) × days overdue. It is not compounded, and days overdue is today's date minus the due date.

Is my invoice data sent anywhere?

No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser. The amount, dates and rate you enter never leave your device.
