💡 Why 25 billable hours? Freelancers spend 10-15 hours/week on unpaid client communication, bookkeeping, marketing, and invoicing. Billing for 40 hours is unrealistic and leads to burnout.

Invoice Payment Terms Setup
Effective Annualized Rate (APR)
36.7%
Annualized return client earns by paying early
Discounted Payment Amount:$9,800.00
Client Savings if Paid in 10 Days:$200.00
Standard Due in 30 Days:$10,000.00
💡 What is 2/10 Net 30? If the client pays within 10 days, they get a 2% discount; otherwise, the full amount is due in 30 days. Because the client saves 2% for paying 20 days early, the annualized benefit is roughly (2 / 98) * (365 / 20) = 37.2% APR.
