Interest is often an arrears or a payment dispute

The calculator splits the amount by rate. If an office charged interest or a customer has not paid, we check the due date, the base and what actually has to be paid or claimed.

Questions and answers

Which interest can I calculate?

Statutory interest on capital and for delay under the Civil Code, maximum interest, interest on commercial transactions, and the tax-arrears model from the Tax Ordinance.

How is it accrued?

Interest is simple and the year has 365 days. When more than one rate applied in the period, the calculator splits the accrual into segments and shows each one.

Is the result a demand for payment?

No. It is a calculation from the amount and dates you enter. It does not replace an interest note, a judgment, or an office decision.
