About this calculator

Calculate the late fee a tenant owes based on rent amount, days late, and the landlord's late fee policy (flat fee, daily fee, or percentage-based).

How much can a landlord legally charge for late rent?

Late fee limits vary by state and lease terms; many jurisdictions cap fees at 5-10% of monthly rent, so always check local landlord-tenant laws.

Can late fees increase every day rent is unpaid?

Some leases apply a daily late fee that accumulates until rent is paid, though many states cap the total amount that can be charged.

Is a late fee the same as an eviction notice?

No, a late fee is a monetary penalty for overdue rent, separate from any formal eviction process that may follow continued nonpayment.
