Early Payment Discount
A percentage reduction offered to customers who pay before the standard due date.
More Details
Commonly expressed as "2/10 Net 30" meaning 2% discount if paid within 10 days, otherwise full amount due in 30 days. Early payment discounts improve cash flow but should be calculated carefully—a 2% discount for 20 days early equals approximately 36% annually.
