LatePayCheck Help

How to use the calculator

LatePayCheck is a public informational tool for overdue B2B invoices. It is built to give a cautious estimate and clearer reminder wording, not legal advice.

What details do I need?

Enter the invoice amount, invoice date, a due date where known, and the date you want the estimate to run to. If there was no fixed payment term, tick the checkbox and optionally add a delivery or completion date.

What does UK statutory mode do?

It applies a simple annual estimate using 8% plus the current Bank of England base rate used in this release, and fixed compensation bands based on invoice value.

What does EU generic mode do?

It provides a cautious informational estimate with an 8% annual rate and a EUR 40 flat compensation baseline. Real rules vary by country and period.

Can I send the reminder templates as-is?

You can copy and adapt them, but you should review the facts, contract terms and jurisdiction before sending any formal payment communication.
