DelayDocket help

How to use DelayDocket

DelayDocket is designed for a fast UK commercial debt check: one overdue invoice, one current date, one base rate, one clearer reminder.

  1. Enter the invoice amount, due date, and the date you want to calculate up to.
  2. Enter the Bank of England base rate you want to use for the estimate.
  3. Choose whether to include the fixed compensation band and what reminder tone you want.
  4. Review the daily interest, interest to date, compensation amount, and total add-on.
  5. Copy the reminder paragraph and adapt it to your commercial relationship before sending.

Good use cases

  • A freelancer or small studio checking what to add before sending the next chase email
  • A bookkeeper preparing a practical number for an internal follow-up note
  • A founder or operator wanting a simple late-payment estimate without opening a spreadsheet

What DelayDocket does not do

  • It does not decide whether a contract-specific rate overrides statutory interest in your case.
  • It does not replace legal advice, court forms, or debt-recovery workflow tooling.
  • It does not store invoice history or sync with accounting software in the MVP.
