Net 30
Net 30 is a payment term meaning the full invoice amount is due within 30 days of the invoice date.
Net 30: a clear definition
“Net” refers to the total amount due (after any agreed discounts), and the number is how many days the client has to pay, usually counted from the invoice date. Net 30 is common for business-to-business work; you'll also see Net 7, Net 14, and Net 60.
Shorter terms generally get you paid faster, so many freelancers and small businesses use Net 14 or even due-on-receipt. Whatever you choose, state it clearly on the invoice and include a specific due date.
