How this calculator works

Enter the date from which the payment period begins, choose the agreed number of days, and select calendar days or weekdays. The starting event may be the invoice date, receipt, approval, or another event named in the agreement.

Formula

Due date = agreed start date + payment-term days

Example

With calendar-day counting, an invoice dated 1 September with Net 30 terms is due on 1 October.

How to calculate an invoice due date

Confirm when the payment period starts

The invoice issue date is a common starting point, but some customer agreements count from receipt, approval, delivery, or the end of a billing period. Use the event stated in the agreement.

Use the agreed counting method

Standard net terms commonly use calendar days. Select weekdays only when the agreement explicitly refers to business or working days, and account for public holidays separately.

Add the complete term

The starting date is day zero in this calculator. Net 30 adds 30 complete days, while Due on Receipt returns the starting date itself.

Record the deadline clearly

Place the calculated due date on the invoice and keep the same payment terms in the customer agreement, invoice, and related communication.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate an invoice payment due date?

Identify the date on which the agreed payment period starts, then add the full number of calendar or working days stated in the terms. This calculator treats the starting date as day zero.

Does the payment period always start on the invoice date?

No. The invoice date is common, but an agreement may start the period when the customer receives or approves the invoice, when goods are delivered, or at another stated event.

Does Net 30 use calendar or business days?

Net 30 commonly means 30 calendar days, but the contract or customer process may specify business days or a different starting event.

Is Net 30 the same as adding one month?

No. Net 30 adds exactly 30 days. Adding one calendar month can produce a different deadline because months have different lengths.

Are public holidays included?

Calendar-day mode includes every day. Weekday mode skips Saturdays and Sundays but does not apply country-specific public holidays.

Can I calculate a custom payment term?

Yes. Choose Custom number of days and enter the term agreed with your customer. The calculator supports terms from 0 to 3,650 days.
