How do you work out 1/10 net 30?

‍

The 'net' part of 1/net 30 means that the full amount is due within 30 days. The '30' is the number of days from the invoice date. So, if you're invoicing on 1st January, the full payment will be due on 31st January - 30 days later.

‍

The 'ten' in 1/ten net 30 means that you can pay a deposit of ten percent when you receive the invoice, with the remaining balance due within 30 days. So, for an invoice of $1000, you would pay a deposit of $100 upfront, with the remaining $900 due within 30 days.

‍

So, for example, if you're invoicing on 1st January, you would pay a deposit of $100 on 1st January, and the remaining $900 would be due on 31st January.

‍

Paying a deposit upfront can be helpful for businesses, as it shows that you're committed to paying the invoice in full. It also means that you can get started on your project straight away, without having to wait for the full payment to come through.

‍

If you're able to pay the full amount up front, you'll save yourself some money, as you won't have to pay any interest on the outstanding balance. However, if you do need to finance your purchase, 1/ten net 30 is a great option.
