30 business days is six working weeks, a longer stretch than thirty calendar days. For an invoice term counted in calendar days, use our Net 30 calculator.
Payment terms count calendar days, not working ones
Under section 4 of the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, statutory interest starts to run on the day after the relevant day for the debt, at the rate prevailing at the end of the relevant day. Where there is an agreed payment day, that is the relevant day. Nothing in the machinery counts in working days.
So a thirty-day payment term and a thirty-working-day obligation are different instruments that happen to share a number. The first lands about a month out. The second lands roughly six weeks out, and further still if the window crosses a holiday cluster. Contracts that use both without distinguishing them produce disputes that are really just arithmetic.
When the due date lands on a bank holiday
Section 1(4) of the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971 deals with this directly. Where a person would otherwise be compellable to make a payment on a bank holiday, the obligation is treated as complied with if the payment is made on the next day on which they are compellable to make it.
That is a roll-forward, not a suspension. The date moves by a day or two; the debt does not pause. A working-day count behaves differently again, taking the closure out of the count entirely and pushing the end date further than a roll-forward would.
Six working weeks, measured
Compare the calendar span below against the flat thirty days that a Net 30 term would give you from the same start date. The gap between them is the whole reason this distinction is worth drawing.
| Quantity | Amount |
|---|---|
| Days on the wall calendar | 42 days |
| Working weeks counted | 6 weeks |
| Weeks of calendar time | 6 weeks |
| Months of calendar time | 1.4 months |
| Saturdays and Sundays removed | 12 |
| Closures removed from the count | 0 |
| Day of the week it lands on | Wednesday |
Where thirty working days is genuinely the right unit
Usually where the obligation is work rather than money.
- Remediation and defect-rectification windows, where the supplier needs a fixed number of working days regardless of where Easter falls.
- Transition services after a disposal, measured in working days so a holiday cluster does not eat into the handover.
- Data migration and cutover commitments, where the team can only work on days the business is open.
Bank holidays inside these six working weeks
No England and Wales bank holiday falls between the reference date and the answer, so every day taken out of this count is a Saturday or a Sunday.
