Net 30 - Due Date

Monday, June 1, 2026

Terms: Net 30Days from today: 30 days

Real-world example: cross-border Net 30 invoice

A freelance UX designer in Toronto invoices a US Fortune 500 client on April 28, 2026 with Net 30 calendar-day terms. The standard due date lands on Thursday, May 28, 2026, which is a regular business day on both Canadian and US banking calendars and clears a same-day wire. Switch the same invoice to Net 30 EOM and the due date moves to Sunday, May 31, 2026; the client's accounts payable system flags it and pushes settlement to Monday, June 1. Federal contractors invoicing under FAR 32.905 (the Prompt Payment Act) work to a different rule: the federal payment office has 30 days from the later of receipt of a proper invoice or acceptance of goods, and interest accrues on day 31 at the published Treasury rate, with the rate set semi-annually under 5 USC 3902. UK exporters invoicing US importers face the additional twist that NACHA same-day-ACH limits cap individual transactions, so splitting a large invoice into multiple ACH origination batches can become necessary to settle on the literal due date rather than rolling into a wire on the next business day.

Common pitfalls with payment terms

Four invoice-dating mistakes cost AR teams real money. First, confusing Net 30 with Net 30 EOM: a March 15 invoice on Net 30 is due April 14, but on Net 30 EOM is due May 30, a 46-day spread that materially shifts cash forecasts. Second, mis-counting the day of issuance; most accounting platforms count from the day after invoice date, but some legacy ERPs count from the issue date itself, putting AR and AP a full day apart on collection follow-up. Third, missing observed-day shifts on bank holidays: an invoice due Saturday, July 4 is not actually due that day under the Federal Reserve and SIFMA calendars; the observance moves to Friday July 3, and ACH originations dated for the literal Saturday will reject. Fourth, applying the early payment discount to the wrong base; the 2% in "2/10 Net 30" usually applies to the pre-tax invoice amount in US B2B practice but to the gross figure in parts of the EU, so an AR clerk porting templates between regions can over- or under-credit the buyer.

Tracking captured discounts versus missed discounts

Accounts payable teams that operate on a 2/10 Net 30 contract base see real annualized yield by capturing the early-payment discount, which works out to roughly 36 percent annualized when paying 20 days early to capture 2 percent. Tracking capture rate as a monthly metric is the standard way to surface treasury-side improvement opportunities; QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, and SAP all report Discounts-Lost as a line item on the AP aging summary. The calculator above is the fastest way to validate the deadline for an individual invoice when the AP system flags an upcoming discount opportunity, especially around quarter-end when bank holidays compress the eligible payment window.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Net 30 mean on an invoice?
Net 30 means full payment is due within 30 calendar days of the invoice date. It is one of the most common B2B payment terms. Some contracts specify '30 business days' instead; always check the wording. This calculator handles both calendar and business day variants.
What is Net 30 EOM?
Net 30 EOM (End of Month) means payment is due 30 days after the end of the month in which the invoice was issued. For example, an invoice dated March 15 would be due April 30 + 30 days = May 30. This term is common in manufacturing and wholesale distribution.
Is Net 30 calendar days or business days?
Traditionally, Net 30 means 30 calendar days from the invoice date. However, many service contracts, particularly in consulting, staffing, and professional services, specify '30 business days.' This is a significant difference: 30 business days is approximately 42-44 calendar days.
What happens if my invoice due date falls on a weekend or holiday?
If you're using business day terms, the due date automatically lands on a working day (weekends and holidays are skipped). For calendar day terms, the calculator flags non-business day due dates and shows the next available business day.
How do early payment discounts work (e.g. 2/10 Net 30)?
A discount like '2/10 Net 30' means: take a 2% discount if you pay within 10 days, otherwise the full amount is due in 30 days. Enter the discount percentage in the Early Payment Discount field and the number of days (10) to see the early payment deadline alongside the standard due date.
Can I set custom payment terms?
Yes. Select 'Custom' from the payment terms dropdown, enter any number of days, and choose calendar or business days. This works for unusual terms like Net 21, Net 45, Net 21, or any duration your contract specifies.
