The Invoice Payment Terms Calculator helps freelancers and small businesses analyze whether to offer early-payment discounts (2/10 Net 30 = 2% off if paid in 10 days, else full Net 30). Computes effective APR of the discount vs your cost of capital. A 2% / 10 days discount = 36.7% effective APR — usually worth offering if your capital cost is below that.
Formula
Effective APR = (Discount% / (1 − Discount%)) × (365 / (Net Days − Discount Days))
- D
- Discount (%) — Early payment discount rate
