Common Questions

Late Fee Calculator FAQ

How does the grace period work in this late fee calculator?
The calculator counts calendar days between the due date and payment date, subtracts the grace period, and applies a penalty only when overdue days remain.
Can I calculate different institutional late-fee policies?
Yes. You can choose flat fixed amount, percentage of outstanding fee, daily percentage, monthly percentage, or compounding monthly calculation modes.
Can I set a maximum late-fee penalty?
Yes. Add a maximum penalty amount, a maximum percentage of the original fee, or both. When both are present, the calculator applies the lower cap.
Can finance offices calculate late fees for multiple students?
Yes. Use Batch CSV mode to paste or upload multiple student rows, calculate all penalties, export a CSV summary, and print a batch report.
What does the AI payment reminder letter do?
After a single-student calculation, the AI feature drafts a student or parent reminder letter explaining the overdue amount, late-fee calculation, payment deadline, and next step.
