Late payment interest, worked out for you
When a business pays you late, the law is on your side. Most freelancers never claim because working it out is a faff. PaySorted does the sums.
Interest
8% a year above the Bank of England base rate (11.75% for late payments starting July to December 2026), counted daily from the day after the due date.
Compensation
A fixed £40, £70 or £100 for each late invoice, depending on its size. You can claim it as well as the interest.
A worked example
An £800 invoice paid 26 days late: £6.70 interest plus £40 compensation, so £46.70. PaySorted shows this on the invoice and sends the claim in one tap.
Only applies to business clients, not private individuals. Want to check a figure? Use our free late payment interest calculator, or read how freelancers can claim late payment interest.

Questions from freelancers
Will my clients see PaySorted?
Hardly at all. Invoices, the payment page, receipts and reminders show your logo, your colour and your business name, and emails come from your name with replies going to you. The only mention is a small "Sent with PaySorted" line at the bottom.
Can I charge interest when a client pays late?
Yes, if your client is a business. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act lets you charge interest at 8% above the Bank of England base rate from the day after the due date, plus fixed compensation. PaySorted works out both and sends the claim as its own invoice, chased like any other.
How much compensation can I claim?
£40 for an invoice under £1,000, £70 for £1,000 to £9,999.99, and £100 for £10,000 or more, for each late invoice. This is on top of the interest.
Can I ask for a deposit before I start?
Yes. Add a fixed-price project and choose 25%, 30% or 50% up front. The deposit invoice goes straight away, and you invoice the stages and the final payment as you go.
I charge by the hour or day. Does that work?
Yes. Log time against a project as you go. When you're ready, one tap invoices everything not yet billed, with a line for each day.
Can reminders go to the client's accounts team?
Yes. Put their accounts email on the client and invoices and reminders go there. If someone replies, chasing pauses until you decide.
Will clients know the reminders are automatic?
They come from your name and your business email, and replies come straight to you. The small footer just says "Sent with PaySorted".
Do I need to be VAT registered?
No. If you are, VAT is added to your invoices. If not, your invoices say so, as they should.
Does it work with my accounting software?
Yes. Connect Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent or Sage in settings.
