Quick answer
Net 14 usually means payment is due 14 calendar days after the invoice date. If the wording says 14 business days, weekends are normally skipped and public holidays may also be excluded.
How to use it
Start with the invoice date, then confirm whether the payment term says calendar days, business days, working days, or month-end terms. Use the calculator when you need to check the actual due date.
Common mistake
The most common mistake is treating net 14 as 14 business days. That can move the expected payment date by several days or more.
