What is the current rate for interest on overdue payments?

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.

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 your debt amounts to NOK 300,000, your monthly instalment will be NOK 1,727 if the interest rate is 2.979 per cent. In this example 51 øre will be charged per instalment in interest on overdue payments for each day that your payment is delayed. With effect from the due date for your first instalment of 15 February and until your loan is terminated by us on 16 May, you would have to pay a total of NOK 92 in interest on overdue payments when the rate is 10.75%.

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 300 000, one month of interest on overdue payments would amount to just under NOK 2,700.
