A quick guide

Use the number with context

The answer is only useful when you know what it includes and what it leaves out.

How to use it

  1. Enter principal, invoice/acceptance dates and payment date.
  2. Enter the declared bank rate, its effective date and enterprise type.
  3. Review eligibility status and arithmetic separately before seeking advice.

Formula

Reference interest = principal × [(1 + 3 × bank rate ÷ 12)^full months − 1] plus remainder-day interest

The output is a scenario estimate and does not create a demand, claim or legal entitlement.

Make it concrete

Worked example

A micro enterprise with a 45-day agreed period shows overdue days only after the reference due date.

Boundaries

What this tool does not assume

Limitations

  • The result does not determine MSE status, acceptance, written terms, bank rate or dispute process.

  • Trading and unknown enterprise types are not treated as eligible by default.

Edge cases

  • Agreed payment days are capped at 45.
  • On-time payment produces zero estimated interest.
