| Invoice | #0148 |

Already paid? Thank you. Just reply to let Sam Carter know.
Kind regards,

When a business pays you late, UK law lets you charge interest at 8% a year above the Bank of England base rate, plus a fixed £40, £70 or £100 depending on the invoice. You don’t need a clause in your contract for it.
Most freelancers never claim it, because asking feels awkward. Badger adds it for you and explains it in the reminder in plain terms. It’s on when you sign up. If you’d rather keep things easy with a good client, switch it off in Settings, or give a few days’ grace before it starts.
| Interest for 23 days | £17.77 |
|---|---|
| Fixed compensation | £70.00 |
| Owed on top of the invoice | £87.77 |
Base rate 3.75% (August 2026). Only applies to business clients.
I’m a freelancer, and the part of the job I dreaded most was writing “just following up” for the fourth time and still not getting paid.
Every invoicing tool I tried reminded me to chase, which was exactly the bit I kept putting off. So I built Badger to do the chasing itself.
It’s new, and I’m still improving it. If anything is broken or confusing, email me at hello@getbadger.co.uk and I’ll reply myself.

Short, polite emails about one invoice: the amount, the due date and, once it's late, what's owed now. The preview at the top of this page shows every one. They arrive as "your name via Badger", and if you add your email address in Settings, your client's replies come straight to you.
You choose the tone and the schedule. By default Badger sends five reminders: 3 days before the due date, on the day, then 3, 7 and 14 days after. The early ones are gentle and the later ones are firmer. It stops as soon as the invoice is marked paid.
Mark the invoice paid in Badger and the reminders stop. Or upload your bank statement as a CSV: Badger suggests which payment goes with which invoice, and you confirm. If they pay through Badger's pay link, it's marked paid for you.
No. UK law lets you add interest at 8% above the Bank of England base rate, plus £40, £70 or £100 fixed compensation, when a business pays you late. Badger adds it and explains it in the reminder. It's on for new accounts; you can switch it off in Settings, or give clients a few days' grace first.
Add one by hand in about a minute, import a CSV, or connect your accounting tool (such as Xero). You can also send a pay link and let Badger watch for the payment.
