not yet paid or settled
If a bill, tax, or other cost is unpaid, the money has not been given yet and is still owed.
Padrão de uso:
unpaid [bill/payment/tax/balance]
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes think 'unpaid' can mean 'free' for the person paying. However, an 'unpaid bill' means the money has not been paid yet and is still owed, not that no payment is needed. Also, 'unpaid bill' (a bill that has not been paid) is different from 'unpaid job' (a job where you receive no money at all).
Sinónimos
outstanding (Common in financial and business contexts for amounts that are still owed.)
|
overdue (Emphasizes that payment is not only unpaid but also late.)
Antónimos
paid (States that the money has been given and nothing is owed.)

working or done without pay
If a person or type of work is unpaid, they do it and do not get money for it.
Padrão de uso:
unpaid [work/intern/volunteer/leave]
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse this meaning with the financial sense of 'unpaid bill'. Here, 'unpaid' describes work or a role that never receives money, not a payment that is simply late. Also, do not say *'I work in a free job'*; say 'I have an unpaid job' or 'I work as an unpaid volunteer'.
Sinónimos
voluntary (Suggests the person chooses to work without pay; does not always stress the lack of money as strongly as 'unpaid'.)
|
unremunerated (A formal term often used in academic or policy writing to describe work that is not paid.)
Antónimos
paid (Describes work or a role for which you receive money.)
