"We recently instituted a 3-day grace period for laptops, but calculating it manually was causing errors. This tool handles the grace period and the $50 cap perfectly. The printed PDF looks very professional."

"I use this alongside our student management system. When a student returns an overdue projector, I punch the dates in here, get the exact fine, and export the CSV to upload to their billing profile. Saves me hours."
