Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate simple interest on a late invoice?
Interest = Principal × Rate × Time. For example: €1,000 at 8% annual rate for 30 days: €1,000 × 0.08 × (30/365) = €6.58.
What late fee rate is standard?
Common rates are 1.5–2% per month or 8–10% annually. The EU Late Payment Directive allows up to 8% above the ECB reference rate for B2B invoices.
Should I always charge late fees?
Have a clear late payment policy in your terms. For long-term clients, a warning first is often better for the relationship. Automated reminders prevent most late payments.
