How the calculation works
As a general rule under Article 625 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, a creditor may claim 3% annual interest on the overdue amount unless a different rate is set by contract or law.
This calculator computes only 3% annual interest. Inflation losses, penalties, court fees, legal assistance costs, and any contractual interest are not included.
Calculation methodology
Methodology for calculating 3% annual interest
Use the principal overdue amount, excluding penalties, fines and legal costs.
We identify the first day of delay and the last day of the calculation period.
Multiply the debt by 3% annual interest and prorate it by the number of calendar days overdue.
We separately exclude inflation losses, contractual interest and other possible payments from this calculation.
Example
Calculation example
The contractual debt in Lviv is UAH 50,000, overdue for 120 calendar days.
- Principal debt: UAH 50,000
- Delay period: 120 days
Estimated 3% per annum: UAH 493.15; total with debt: UAH 50,493.15.
This is only 3% annual interest. Inflation losses, penalties, and court costs are calculated separately.
What to check in the documents
- Contract, IOU, invoice, or another document confirming the debt.
- Payment deadline and evidence that the debtor was required to perform the monetary obligation.
- Partial payments, reconciliation statements, correspondence, or demands concerning the debt.
- Contractual terms on interest, penalties, special restrictions, or moratoria.
Frequently asked questions
Can inflation losses be added immediately?
Not in this tool. Inflation losses are calculated separately using inflation indices, so they need a separate calculation.
From what date does the default period begin?
Usually, the period starts on the day after the payment due date. The contract, receipt, or court decision may contain details that affect this.
Is the calculator suitable for a loan?
It can be used only as a rough guide. Special rules and limits may apply to credit and consumer agreements.
Does the result guarantee the amount the court will award?
No. The court checks the basis of the debt, the period, evidence, contract terms, and the debtor’s defenses.
