Formula
How the calculation works
Enter the unpaid invoice balance, an agreed flat fee or percentage rate, and the number of charge periods to estimate the late fee and updated amount due.
Late fee = flat fee × periods + unpaid balance × percentage rate × periods. Updated balance = unpaid balance + late fee.Charge a late fee only when the customer agreed to the term and applicable law permits it. Check local notice, rate and compounding rules before updating an invoice.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about free invoice late fee calculator
Can I add a late fee to any overdue invoice?
No. The fee should be supported by the accepted contract or invoice terms and allowed by the law that applies to the transaction.
Should a late fee be flat or percentage based?
Use the method stated in the agreed payment terms. A flat charge is a fixed amount per period, while a percentage charge changes with the unpaid balance.
Does this calculator compound late fees?
No. The percentage is applied to the original unpaid balance for each entered period. It does not charge interest on earlier late fees.
