Sample Claim Interest & Liquidated Damages Report

This sample shows statutory interest accrued on an unpaid balance and netted against a liquidated damages assessment, which is the shape most settlement positions take.

The sample is the complete report as a watermarked PDF, using illustrative figures, not real project data. Your own report is generated live from the numbers you enter and is not watermarked.

What the sample contains

What you need to run one of these

Under ten minutes. The work is in establishing the accrual date, not in the arithmetic.

Verify the rate against the official source for each year of accrual. Several states float against a federal benchmark and reset on a published schedule, so one rate across a three-year accrual will be wrong.

Nothing you enter is uploaded. The calculation and the parsing of any spreadsheet you import happens entirely in your own browser.

How to read this report

Interest is shown as an accrual over the period rather than a single figure, so you can see the effect of the rate, the accrual date and the compounding convention independently. Liquidated damages accrue on their own line in the opposite direction and the net position is the last row rather than the first.

What reviewers look for

The accrual date gets challenged more often than the rate. The report states the date, the trigger relied on and the citation for the rate, which turns a contestable assertion into something the other side has to argue against with their own authority.

Who uses this report

Construction attorneys building a settlement position, contractors assessing whether a long-outstanding receivable is worth pursuing and consultants netting competing claims into a single number for mediation.

Whichever you are, the arithmetic is free: run the calculator as many times as you like and pay only when you want the branded, citation-backed document assembled.

Frequently asked questions

Are these real claim figures?

No. Every sample uses illustrative figures rather than real project or claimant data. The point is to show the layout, the level of detail and the methodology, so you can judge whether the finished report is what you need before you pay for one.

What is the difference between the sample and what I would get?

The sample is a watermarked PDF. A paid report is unwatermarked, carries your own logo and company details and comes as a live-formula Excel workbook and an editable Word document alongside the PDF.

Can I edit the numbers after export?

Yes. The Excel workbook keeps working formulas rather than pasted values, so changing an input updates the totals. The Word document is a normal editable document.

Methodology used in this report

Simple Interest

Principal × Rate × (Days ÷ 365).

Compound Interest

Principal × ((1 + Rate/n)^(n×t) − 1), where n is compounding periods per year and t is elapsed years.

Net Offset

Contractor Extended GC Claim − Owner LD Assessment, applied to the total only when positive.

Rate Selection

Statutory prejudgment and postjudgment rates, accrual start dates and compounding treatment vary by state and often float on a published schedule.

What the paid Excel workbook looks like

The sample PDF above shows the report. This is the Full Line-Item Breakdown sheet from the formatted Excel workbook a paid report also includes, rendered from an actual generated workbook rather than a mock-up. Every figure on it is a live formula reading from an Inputs tab, so changing an input recalculates the whole workbook.

Sample versus a paid report

The sample is a fixed, watermarked PDF. A paid report is generated live from your own figures and adds a formatted Excel workbook with working formulas, a matching Word document, an unwatermarked PDF and your own logo or letterhead. The monthly plan additionally includes a Scenario Comparison sheet for modelling conservative, likely and aggressive positions.
