Accelerate Cash Flow

Offering 1% to 2% for rapid 10-day payment frequently cuts client payment latency by 15 to 20 days, reducing working capital requirements.

Pre-Tax vs. Post-Tax

Applying discounts pre-tax reduces the client's taxable basis, lowering their total sales tax cost while keeping your accounting books audit-clean.

Fixed vs. Percentage

Percentage discounts scale with project size (e.g. 10% volume discount), whereas fixed discounts are ideal for specific promotional credits or vouchers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 2/10 Net 30 mean?

'2/10 Net 30' is a traditional commercial cash discount term. It means the customer can deduct a 2% discount from the invoice subtotal if they pay in full within 10 days of the invoice date; otherwise, the full net balance is due within 30 days.

Is invoice discount applied before or after sales tax?

In standard accounting and most tax jurisdictions, trade discounts and volume rebates are applied before tax (the customer only pays sales tax on the discounted net amount). However, prompt-payment cash discounts may be treated differently depending on state law; always check local tax guidance.

How do I show an early payment discount on an invoice?

State the prompt discount terms clearly in the invoice notes or payment instructions (e.g. 'Pay $2,450 by Nov 10 to receive 2% early discount, or $2,500 due by Nov 30'). Invoza allows you to add custom discount line items or payment terms notes instantly.

Can discounts be a fixed dollar amount rather than a percentage?

Yes. Fixed discounts (such as a $100 promotional coupon or $250 courtesy credit) can be entered directly into the calculator and deducted from your gross subtotal.
