01 / YOUR INPUTS

Enter your inputs and calculate. Changing a value clears the previous result so it cannot be mistaken for an updated calculation.

Rate amount = entered INR rate, or contract value × percentage rate ÷ 100.
Charge periods = days, days ÷ 7 (prorated weeks), rounded-up days ÷ 7 (commenced weeks), or one period for a positive delay under the one-off percentage option.
Calculated LD = rate amount × charge periods. Cap amount = entered INR cap or contract value × cap percentage ÷ 100.
Applied LD = minimum of calculated LD and cap amount. Effective percentage = applied LD ÷ contract value × 100; undefined when contract value is zero.

All amount inputs are INR. Display units only change presentation, not the input scale.
Delay is an entered whole number of calendar days; the tool does not decide which days are chargeable.
Percentage rates require a separate per-day, per-week or once-for-period choice. Partial-week treatment is explicit.
Zero delay produces zero LD, including a once-for-period percentage. A zero cap means zero applied LD.
No taxes, interest, other deductions, caps already consumed or separate milestone caps are included. Display rounding is to paise; intermediate arithmetic is unrounded.

Inputs: Contract ₹1,00,00,000; LD 0.5% per week; 14 delay days; prorated weeks; cap 10%.

Result: Two weeks × ₹50,000 = ₹1,00,000 calculated LD. Cap ₹10,00,000. Applied illustrative LD ₹1,00,000 (1% of contract value).

How are partial weeks handled?

Choose prorated days divided by seven or each commenced week rounded up. Neither rule is assumed to match your contract.

Can I enter a cap of zero?

Yes. Zero is an actual zero cap, not an unlimited-cap setting. The applied amount will be zero.
