HOW IT WORKS

Terms like 2/10 net 30 are a loan in disguise. This shows the annualized rate you effectively pay by NOT taking the early-pay discount.

1
Enter the terms
Type the discount percentage, the days to earn it, and the net due days — e.g. 2, 10, 30 for 2/10 net 30. Add an invoice amount for dollars.
2
We annualize it
Period cost = discount ÷ (100 − discount). Annualized = that × (365 ÷ extra days of credit), where extra days = net days − discount days.
3
Use the result
If the annual figure beats your cost of borrowing, always take the discount — you are earning that rate by paying early.
