Questions

How much can I charge as a late fee?

Commonly a monthly finance charge of around 1% to 2% of the overdue amount, applied for the time the invoice is late — but allowable rates are capped by law in many places and should be stated in your terms before the work. This calculator applies whatever monthly rate you set over the days overdue; check the limits that apply to you.

Should I state late fees up front?

Yes. Late fees are far more enforceable and less awkward when they're written into your quote, contract, or invoice terms before you start work. A clear line like '1.5% per month on overdue balances' sets the expectation, so charging it later isn't a surprise. Always agree terms in advance.
