I received an invoice for $30,000 under the above terms. I've never seen this before. I'm familiar with 2/10 net 30, etc., but am wondering if the vendor intended to this. My interpretation was that we get a 2% discount if paid within 15 days and have no idea when it would be due if we paid in more than 15 days. I paid $29,400. It's a
Invoice terms 2 net 15

My interpretation.......They have actually shortened the payment terms (thus their AR turnover) under the "guise" (by design or not) of the 2% discount, you only have 15 days.
Thanks, Emerson. Sounds like your interpretation is the same as mine.
I agree.
I agree. Look at new account agreement/ credit application or contract you signed for their terms. There are many companies that will still take the 2% past the 15 days.
Take the 2%. If I did the calculation correctly, that's equivalent to 49% annual interest rate.... 2/10 Net 30 is 36.7%....
