Small Business Late Filing Fee Calculator — How It Works

Estimates the late filing fee for a small business filing based on days late, the daily penalty rate, and an optional fee cap.

How it works

  1. Enter how many days the filing is late.
  2. Enter the daily late fee charged.
  3. Optionally enter a maximum fee (cap) — leave it at 0 for no cap.
  4. The tool multiplies days late by the daily fee, then applies the cap if the result exceeds it.

Formula

Late fee = min(Days late × Daily fee, Maximum fee)

Example

10 days late at $10/day = $100. If the cap is set to $75, the fee shown is $75 instead.

Notes

Actual late filing penalties for taxes, registrations, and licenses vary by jurisdiction and filing type, and may include both flat fees and percentage-based penalties. Use this as a quick estimate, not official guidance.
