Quick answer
Use this page when an invoice says payment is due in 7, 14, 30, or 60 days and you need to understand whether weekends or public holidays should affect the expected payment date.
When to use it
Invoice terms can be written as calendar days, business days, working days, or month-end terms. The wording matters. If a client says net 30 calendar days, weekends usually count. If the contract says 30 business days, weekends are normally skipped and public holidays may also be excluded.
Common invoice terms to check
Useful examples include net 7, net 14, net 30, payment due within 5 business days, payment due by close of business, and month-end plus 30 days. The safest approach is to confirm the wording in the contract or purchase order, then use the calculator to count the date range.
Before you chase payment
Check the invoice date, the agreed payment term, and whether the wording says calendar days or business days. If there is any dispute, keep a note of the calculation and the contract wording.
