I am looking for a formula that will calculate a accrued late fee with two
variables “late fee” and “intrest”.The folloing in the logic behind what I’m
trying to do. My goal is to do this with one formula ?  I have been exploring
the financial formulas with absolutely no luck.....  

Open Amount [$1,182.50] + (2% late fee) + (1.5% interest) = "Month 1 Amount"

Month 1 Amount + (2% of $1,182.50)) + (1.5% of Month 1 Amount) = "Month 2
Amount"
 
Month 2 Amount + (2% of $1,182.50) + (1.5% of Month 2 Amount) = "Month 3
Amount"

....and so on for the x of months overdue...

any help would be much appreciated……

Hi

With Open Amount in A1, late fee% in B1, Interest% in C1 and number of
months in D1
=A1*(1+(B1+C1))^D1
will give the total value outstanding

I believe the following does what you want:

=fv(1.5%, A1, -A2*2%, -A2)

where A1 is "x" periods and A2 is the "open amount" (initial
outstanding balance).

Month n amount would equal
 =((1+late/rate)*(1+rate)^n - late/rate)*initial
where late=2%=0.02, rate=1.5%=0.015, and initial=$1,182.50.

If late=0, this reduces to the usual formula for compound interest of
 (1+rate)^n*initial
