# Penalties & Client Benefits

## Penalties

### Overview

The **Penalties** tab shows all late payment penalties charged to clients — either automatically (via Finance Settings) or manually when marking a payment difference as a penalty during collection.

## Client Benefits

### Overview

The **Client Benefits** tab shows all discounts or credits that have been applied to clients' payment plans — for example when a client pays less than the installment amount and the difference is treated as a benefit rather than a penalty.
