Net 7, Net 15, and Net 30 define how many days the client has to pay after the invoice date.
What each term means
The number after Net is the number of days the client has to pay, usually counted from the invoice date.
- Net 7: due in 7 days
- Net 15: due in 15 days
- Net 30: due in 30 days
How to choose
Use shorter terms for small or new-client jobs and longer terms for established business clients that need more processing time.
Make the due date explicit
Even when using Net terms, include a calendar due date so there is no confusion about weekends, holidays, or invoice timing.
