Quick answer
Net 30 usually means payment is due 30 calendar days after the invoice date. If the wording says 30 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 30 as 30 business days. That can move the expected payment date by several days or more.
