How this service works
South African reference data as clean, cited JSON: fuel prices, interest rates, FX and bond yields, tax tables, tariffs, wages and grants, live government tenders and crypto prices, plus calculators. Built for AI agents and applications.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the calculated local interest amount in ZAR, the applicable prescribed interest rate used, and a breakdown of the computation based on the supplied principal amount and debt age, all cited against current South African regulatory sources.
Example use cases
Overdue invoice interest recovery
“I need to know how much local interest I can legally charge on an unpaid South African invoice of R25,000 that has been outstanding for 12 months — what does the prescribed rate give me?”
Late payment penalty estimation
“We have a ZAR 100,000 debt that is 3 years old — calculate the local interest owed on it under South African law so I can include it in a demand letter.”
NCA compliance interest check
“What is the lawful local interest on a R15,000 credit agreement balance for a debtor who is 6 months behind — I want to make sure we're within NCA limits.”
Technical details
Endpoint
HEADhttps://zaref.dev/calc/local-interest?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a fast, cited, regulation-aware computation of South African local (prescribed) interest on a debt amount and age, without building your own rate-lookup and formula logic. Prefer it over generic interest calculators when South African NCA or SARS prescribed rates are required.
Side effects
- Missing required 'amount' or 'age' query parameters returns an error or empty result
- Invalid non-numeric values for amount or age cause a bad request response
- Stale rate data if underlying SARS/NCA rate has not yet been updated after a regulatory change
- HEAD method returns no body — only status code and headers, limiting data retrieval
