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

  1. Use the prin­ci­pal overdue amount, ex­clud­ing penal­ties, fines and legal costs.

  2. We iden­ti­fy the first day of delay and the last day of the cal­cu­la­tion period.

  3. Mul­ti­ply the debt by 3% annual in­ter­est and prorate it by the number of cal­en­dar days overdue.

  4. 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.
