Claim: In personal finance, a grace period, which can range from minutes to a number of days, refers to the allocated time which no interest is charged on a credit card or when fees are due but can be paid without penalty.
Evidence: In personal finance, a grace period is the period during which no interest is charged on a credit card. A grace period is a period immediately after the deadline for an obligation during which a late fee, or other action that would have been taken as a result of failing to meet the deadline, is waived provided that the obligation is satisfied during the grace period. Grace periods can range from a number of minutes to a number of days or longer, and can apply in situations including arrival at a job, paying a bill, or meeting a government or legal requirement.
