How Net 15 works
Payment is due 15 days after the invoice date. It balances client convenience with reasonable cash flow for freelancers and small agencies.
- Due 15 days after invoice date
- Common for agencies and retainers
- Middle ground between Net 7 and Net 30
Net 15 vs Net 30
Net 15 reduces waiting time compared with Net 30 and is easier for clients to accept than due-on-receipt for larger amounts. Use Net 15 when you have an established relationship but still need predictable timing.
- Net 15 gets paid sooner than Net 30
- Easier for clients than due-on-receipt on large totals
- Good default for established relationships
Adding payment instructions
Pair Net 15 with clear bank details or a payment link. Corporate clients often batch payments weekly — clear references help your invoice get matched quickly.
- Include payment reference
- Add AP contact if known
- State currency clearly
