What is the current rate for interest on overdue payments?

Interest on overdue payments is determined twice a year by the Norwegian Ministry of Finance. This is in line with Norges Bank's key policy rate, plus an additional 8 percentage points. So if the key policy rate is 2%, our interest on overdue payments will be set at 10%.

Check the government's website to see what the current interest rate on overdue payments is.

This is how much interest on overdue payments will cost you

If you are late paying your bill, we will calculate interest on the amount you should have paid. Such interest will be added to the amount with effect from the first day after the due date and will apply until you pay your bill. Interest on overdue payments is charged in addition to the reminder fee.

If you have an installment amount of NOK 2,500, with 11.75% interest on overdue payment, 80 øre will be charged in interest overdue payments for each day that your payment is delayed. Until your loan is terminated, you will have to pay a total of NOK 148 in interest on overdue payments.

However, if your loan is terminated, you would have to start paying interest on overdue payments on your entire debt with effect from the termination date. Therefore, if you have a debt of NOK 410,000, one month of interest on overdue payments would amount to just over NOK 4,000.
