Why Tracking Guarantee Obligations Matters

Guarantee agreements often contain cascading obligations—financial reporting, notice periods, covenant compliance—with strict deadlines. Missing a deadline can trigger defaults, accelerate payments, or void the guarantee.

Common Failure Modes:

Assuming "business days" matches your jurisdiction's definition.
Not accounting for grace/cure periods correctly.
Underestimating compound late interest over long periods.
Poor evidence retention for audit trails.

Step‑by‑Step Usage

Enter the obligation description and due date from the contract.
Add any grace period (check business‑day toggle if required).
Input the guaranteed amount and annual late interest rate.
Click "Calculate & Add to Tracker" to see deadlines and potential penalties.
Use the tracker table to monitor status and risk scores.

Realistic Examples

Example 1: Financial statement due Dec 31, 15‑day grace, $100k guarantee, 12% simple interest. Final deadline Jan 15. 30‑day late interest: ~$986.

Example 2: Insurance renewal notice due Mar 1 (5 business‑day grace). If today is Feb 24, final deadline is Mar 8 (weekends excluded).

Typical Interest Rates & Periods

Contract Type	Typical Late Rate	Common Grace
Corporate Guarantee	8‑15% p.a.	5‑30 days
Performance Bond	10‑18% p.a.	0‑10 days
Personal Guarantee	12‑20% p.a.	15‑45 days

Common Mistakes Checklist

Using calendar days when contract specifies business days.

Forgetting to include notice periods in deadline calculations.

Not documenting the cure‑period start date.

Assuming interest is simple when contract specifies compounding.
