How to use Late Payment Penalties

This tool estimates the penalties due on a late-paid B2B invoice. The calculation adds two parts: late-payment interest (unpaid amount × yearly rate × days late ÷ 365) and the €40 fixed recovery fee set by the French commercial code for each invoice. Enter the gross amount, the number of days late and the applicable rate. If no rate is stated in the contract, the legal minimum is three times the statutory interest rate; failing that, the ECB rate plus 10 points. The result is indicative and computed locally in your browser.
