A simple but effective way to calculate late payment interest.

Late Payment Legislation Act 1998

Under the Act you are entitled to recover Interest on Overdue Accounts together with Debt Collection Costs on a fixed scale. Working out the interest and cost is not straightforward and we hope our 'calculator' will help you. The calculation is based on the factural rules.

The compensation entitlement varies in accordance with the size of the debt:

Size of unpaid debt Sum to be paid to the creditor

Up to £999.99 = £40.00
£1,000.00 to £9,999.99 = £70.00
£10,000.00 or more = £100.00
