How it works

Chasing a late payment is a genuinely uncomfortable email to write, which is exactly why it so often gets put off — and the longer it sits unwritten, the more overdue the invoice gets and the more awkward the eventual email feels. Having a clean template ready removes the actual writing as the reason it keeps getting delayed.

The usual pattern is to escalate gradually rather than open firm: a light reminder shortly after the due date, then a clearer, more direct follow-up if a week or two passes without a response. This tool generates either tone depending on where you are in that sequence — fill in the client, amount, and days overdue, and adjust the tone as things progress.

Frequently asked questions

Q.How soon after the due date should I send this?

A friendly reminder a few days after the due date, then a firmer follow-up if a week or two passes with no response, is a common cadence. Escalate the tone gradually rather than starting firm.

Q.Can I actually charge interest for a late payment?

In most places, only if your original invoice or contract disclosed the late fee terms upfront — check your invoice terms and local law before adding a late charge. See the Late Payment Interest Calculator to work out the amount.
