Late fee calculator
Figure out what a late fee comes to on a past-due rent or dues balance, so you can set a fair, consistent policy. Enter the amount owed and your late-fee rule, and the calculator shows the fee and the new total.
Run the numbers
The rent or dues balance that's late.
The number your policy uses.
A fee added each period the balance stays unpaid.
New balance owed: $1,550
What you enter
- Amount past due — the rent or dues balance that's late.
- Late-fee type — a flat fee, or a percentage of the balance.
- Fee amount or percentage — the number your policy uses.
- (Optional) grace period and daily/recurring fee — if your policy adds a fee per day or per period late.
The late fee, the new balance owed, and — if you entered a recurring fee — how it grows if the balance stays unpaid. Shown as plain numbers you can drop straight into a notice.
What the number means
A late-fee policy works best when it's written down, applied the same way every time, and within what your lease or governing documents (and state or local law) allow. This calculator does the arithmetic; what you're legally allowed to charge is set by your documents and your jurisdiction, so check those before you set a number.
This calculator does not set or assert a legal maximum late fee. What you're allowed to charge is set by your lease or governing documents and your local law — check those before you set a number.
