1

Days overdue

Days past due = Today − Due date

= 15 days past due

5 day grace period → 10 fee-accruing days

2

Monthly percentage fee

Fee = Invoice × (rate/100) × (days / 30.44)

= $5,000 × 1.50%/mo × 0.33 months

30.44 avg days/month (365/12). Simple interest.

3

Late fee accrued

Late fee accrued = calculated fee amount

= $24.64

4

Total now owed

Total owed = Invoice amount + Late fee accrued

= $5,000 + $24.64 = $5,024.64

5

Daily accrual rate

Daily accrual = Invoice × rate/100 / 30.44 = $5,000 × 1.50%/100 / 30.44

= $2.46/day

That's $73.92/month at current rate

6

Effective annual rate (APR)

APR = rate/month × 12 = 1.50% × 12

= 18.00% per year

Most US states cap commercial late fees at 18–24% APR. Check local laws before applying.

UCC §2-718; state usury laws vary

7

30/60/90-day projections

Milestones = fee calculated at 30, 60, 90 days past due (after grace period)

= 30d: $61.60 | 60d: $135.51 | 90d: $209.43

These assume the same invoice amount and fee structure throughout.
