Net 30 formulas
The due date is the start date plus the net days. The discount's annualized rate compares what you save with how many days early you pay.
Due date = Invoice date + Net days
EOM due date = Last day of invoice month + Net days
Discount deadline = Invoice date + Discount days
Annualized rate = (Discount % ÷ (100 − Discount %)) × (365 ÷ (Net days − Discount days))
Worked examples
Three common cases: plain net 30, 2/10 net 30, and net 30 EOM.

| 2/10 net 30 on $5,000 | Mar 1, 2026 | Discount by Mar 11; (2 ÷ 98) × (365 ÷ 20) | Pay $4,900 by Mar 11 or $5,000 by Mar 31; discount worth 37.2% a year |

Frequently asked questions
What does net 30 mean?
Net 30 means the full invoice amount is due 30 days after the invoice date. Net 15, net 45 and net 60 work the same way with a different number of days.
How do you calculate a net 30 due date?
Add 30 calendar days to the invoice date. An invoice dated March 1 on net 30 is due March 31; one dated January 15 is due February 14. Weekends and holidays count, unless your contract says otherwise.
What does 2/10 net 30 mean?
2/10 net 30 means the customer can take a 2% discount if they pay within 10 days; otherwise the full amount is due in 30 days. On a $5,000 invoice, paying by day 10 saves $100.
Is a 2/10 net 30 discount worth taking?
Usually. Paying 20 days early to save 2% is the same as earning (2 ÷ 98) × (365 ÷ 20) = 37.2% a year. That beats what most businesses earn on cash or pay to borrow, so if you have the cash, take the discount.
What does net 30 EOM mean?
EOM means "end of month": the 30 days start from the last day of the month the invoice is dated, not from the invoice date. An invoice dated March 10 on net 30 EOM is due April 30.
Does net 30 mean 30 business days?
No. Unless the contract says business days, net 30 means 30 calendar days from the invoice date.
