What is a Payment Reminder?
A payment reminder tells a client that an invoice is overdue and asks them to pay. It lists the unpaid invoices and the total due, and moves from a friendly first reminder to a firm final notice before further action.
This free payment reminder generator writes the letter for you: choose a first reminder, a second reminder or a final notice, list the overdue invoices and download a professional PDF. It works as an overdue invoice letter template and a payment demand letter you can send by email or post.
What to include in a payment reminder
- A clear subject line. Say at once that the letter is a payment reminder, and whether it is the first, the second or a final notice.
- The overdue invoices. Invoice number, invoice date, due date and amount for each one, so the client can find them in their records.
- The total amount due. One figure the client can pay without adding anything up, in the right currency.
- A deadline. A date or a number of days to pay, especially in the second reminder and the final notice.
- How to pay. Bank details or a payment link, so nothing stands between the reminder and the payment.
How to write a payment reminder
- Enter your business name, address and logo in "Your business". Save them as your default and they will be filled in next time.
- Add the other party's details and the document number and dates. Numbers increase automatically.
- List the items. Quantities, prices, taxes and totals update in the preview as you type.
- Pick a template, colour and document language, then click "Download PDF" or "Print".
Mistakes that slow down payment
- Waiting too long: send the first reminder a few days after the due date, while the invoice is still fresh.
- An angry tone in the first reminder: most late payments are oversights, and a polite reminder keeps the client.
- No payment details: if the client has to search for your bank account, the payment waits.

Questions about the Payment Reminder Generator
When should I send a payment reminder?
A first reminder 3 to 7 days after the due date works well, a second about two weeks later, and a final notice when the second reminder has gone unanswered.
Can I add several invoices to one reminder?
Yes. List every unpaid invoice in the table; the total due is calculated for you and written in the letter.
Can I change the wording of the letter?
