Invoice due date calculator

Pick the invoice date to see the due date.
How to use the due date calculator
- Enter the invoice date: the day you send the invoice, or the day your terms start counting.
- Choose the payment terms: due on receipt, Net 7, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60 or 90, or your own number of days.
- Read the due date. It shows the weekday, how many days are left (or how many days overdue it is today) and the reminder dates.
- Write the date on the invoice, not just the term, so nobody has to count.
What Net 30 means
Net 30 means the full amount is due 30 days after the invoice date. Net 15 is 15 days, Net 60 is 60 days, and so on. Due on receipt means the due date is the invoice date. The count is in calendar days, weekends included, not business days.
It does not follow calendar months. An invoice dated January 15 on Net 30 is due February 14. One dated January 31 is due March 2, or March 1 in a leap year, because February is short. The calculator handles month ends and leap years for you.
Weekends and holidays
The due date can land on a weekend or a holiday, and the calculator tells you when it is a weekend. Whether a payment due on a Saturday is late on Saturday or on the next working day depends on your terms, so say which on the invoice. If you want payment on a working day, pick terms that land on one.
When reminders go out
Paylark sends a reminder 3 days before the due date, another on the due date, and more at 3, 7 and 14 days late. They stop as soon as the invoice is paid. The calculator lists those dates for your invoice.
Shorter terms get you paid sooner. Net 7 to Net 15 suits many repairs and small jobs, and Net 30 or longer is more common when billing other businesses. More in invoice payment terms and how to get paid faster. Already late? Work out a fee with the late fee calculator, or make the invoice with the free invoice generator.
Questions
What does Net 30 mean on an invoice?
It means payment is due 30 days after the invoice date. Net 15, Net 45 and Net 60 work the same way with their own number of days. The date to pay by is the invoice date plus that many days.
Are due dates counted in calendar days or business days?
Net terms normally count calendar days, so weekends are included. Some contracts count business days. If yours does, the date here will be earlier than yours, so check your terms.
Do the terms start on the invoice date or when the customer gets it?
Usually from the invoice date, but follow your agreement. If your terms start on the day the customer receives the invoice, enter that day as the invoice date.
When do Paylark reminders go out?
Paylark reminds the customer 3 days before the due date, on the due date, and 3, 7 and 14 days after it, unless the invoice has been paid. It is opening soon, and you can join the waitlist.
