Net 60 Calculator: Due Date and Meaning of Net 60 Terms

Net 60 means the full invoice amount is due 60 calendar days after the invoice date. An invoice dated 10 January 2026 is due on 11 March 2026 (Wednesday). Weekends and public holidays count like any other day.

Also written as: Net 60 days · 60 days net · payment terms 60 days · payment within 60 days

It starts with today's date, so the first result is Net 60 from today. Net terms on an invoice count from the invoice date unless the contract says otherwise; if your contract counts from another event, such as receipt of the invoice, delivery or completion of the work, enter that date instead.

What Net 60 means

due date = invoice date + 60 calendar days. The day after the invoice date is day 1, and day 60 is the due date: the last day to pay on time, unless the contract says otherwise.

This is date arithmetic only. Where a law sets its own payment period, it can count from a different event; the rules we have verified are quoted below.

"Weekend" is only a flag: Net 60 counts calendar days, and whether a payment due on a Saturday or Sunday may be made on the next business day is for your contract to say.

Net 60 vs 60 Days EOM

Net 60 counts from the invoice date. 60 Days EOM counts 60 days from the end of the invoice month (method 1). A second reading counts 60 days from the invoice date and then runs to the end of that month (method 2). The same invoice dates give these due dates:

Invoice dateNet 6060 Days EOM, method 160 Days EOM, method 2

Net 60 wording to copy

Replace [due date] with the date from the calculator. Printing the date, not only the term, means nobody has to count days.

  • Please pay the full amount within 60 days of the invoice date (due [due date]).
  • Terms: 60 days net from the invoice date. Due date: [due date].

Filled in for an invoice dated 10 January 2026: "Payment terms: Net 60. Payment is due within 60 days of the invoice date, by 11 March 2026."

What the law says about 60-day payment periods

These rules set legal periods of their own, quoted word for word. Where a rule says what its period counts from, that is noted under the quote: it is not always the invoice date that "Net 60" on an invoice counts from.

United Kingdom: Agreed payment periods: 30 days for public authorities, 60 days for business transactions

If you agree a payment date, it must usually be within 30 days for public authorities or 60 days for business transactions. You can agree a longer period than 60 days for business transactions - but it must be fair to both businesses.
