After the 14 days, 1% of the original fine is added for each day late. It is not compound. Formula: fine + (fine × 1% × days late).

Is there a cap on the late fee?

Short answer

After the 14 days, 1% of the original fine is added for each day late. A GH¢120 fine is GH¢156 after 30 days late.

You have 14 days from the notice date to pay or contest.

After day 14, Police add 1% of the original fine for each day late. It is not compound. It is 1% of the first amount, every day.

No limit (cap) is published. A fine can double after 100 days late.

Worked example (original fine, days late after the 14 days)
Days late	GH¢120	GH¢180	GH¢240
0 (on time)	120.00	180.00	240.00
7	128.40	192.60	256.80
14	136.80	205.20	273.60
30	156.00	234.00	312.00
60	192.00	288.00	384.00
100	240.00	360.00	480.00

Formula: fine + (fine × 1% × days late).

These are our sums from the published rule. The real amount is what *220# shows. A reminder SMS may come around day 7.
