Learn English – word for the day after a due day

single-word-requests

Is there a word for the succeeding day after the last day of a period?

Let’s say I had to do a homework assignment and I had to submit it before a specific date. One that due date passes, I may be subject to penalties according to the number of days late.

Here is another example. Suppose I had to pay a bill until a specific date. I'm running late by one day. I can still pay, but I have to pay interest too, according to the number of days in late.

If it was one day late, is there a word for that?

What if it were two days late? Is there a word for the second of the two, or for both these days together?

Best Answer

Another option is to refer to the payment directly and to the number of days indirectly allowing you to use the term:

in arrears: the state of being behind in the discharge of obligations < in arrears with the rent >

You may then say things like:

My payment is two days in arrears.
