It's generally not normal for your period to be late - typically your menstrual cycles will follow a pattern and it's normal for there to be around a weeks variation from your average menstrual cycle. If your period is later than predicted how long it is delayed depends on why it is late, if you are sexually active you may want to take a pregnancy test to confirm whether you could be pregnant or not, otherwise it's not a concern until you've gone three months without menstruating.
