Net 15

A payment term requiring the invoice to be paid within 15 days of the invoice date.

What does Net 15 mean?

Net 15 is a payment term that gives the client 15 calendar days from the invoice date to pay the full amount. It is a shorter payment window than the more common Net 30, making it useful when you want quicker turnaround on payments.

The 15-day window typically starts from the invoice date, not the date the client receives it, though this can vary depending on your agreement.

When to use Net 15

Net 15 is a good fit for small to mid-size invoices where 30 days feels too long, repeat clients with established relationships, industries where faster payment cycles are standard, and situations where you need tighter cash flow management.

Net 15 vs. other payment terms

Net 15 sits between due on receipt and Net 30. It gives clients a reasonable window to process payment without the longer wait of Net 30. Some businesses also use Net 10 for even faster collection or Net 60 for larger enterprise clients.

How to enforce Net 15 terms

Clearly state Net 15 on every invoice and in your contract. Include it in your terms and conditions. Sending the invoice promptly and offering online payment options both help ensure clients pay within the 15-day window.
