How to Set and Calculate an Fatura vade tarihi

The invoice vade tarihi is the date by which the Müşteri is expected to pay an invoice under the agreed terms. It gives both parties a clear point for payment planning and follow-up. A vade tarihi should reflect the agreement; do not assume that every business uses the same default period.

How vade tarihis are calculated

Start with the event named in the agreement—often the invoice date—then apply the number of days or the stated calendar date. For example, if an invoice is issued on 7 Ekim 2026 and the agreed term is Net 30 counted from issue, adding 30 calendar days gives 6 November 2026. If a contract defines a different starting point or day-count convention, follow that definition.

Common ways to state a vade tarihi

• Due on receipt: payment is expected when the Müşteri receives the invoice; state a clear date or explanation if timing needs precision.
• Net 7 / Net 14: payment is due seven or fourteen days after the agreed starting point.
• Net 30 / Net 60: payment is due thirty or sixty days after the agreed starting point.
• Custom date or milestone: specify an actual date or the event that starts the payment period.

Calendar days or business days?

Do not assume a day count excludes weekends. State “calendar days” or “business days” where the distinction matters and make sure that wording matches the agreement. The calculator can skip weekends when you select business-day mode, but it does not include public holidays.

Make the vade tarihi easy to understand

Showing both the term and a calendar date can reduce ambiguity—for example, “Net 30; due 6 November 2026.” Check the date when an invoice is reissued, a deposit is paid or the terms are changed. A reminder should refer to the fatura numarası and the stated vade tarihi.

Example

A supplier issues invoice INV-2026-014 on 7 Ekim 2026. Their written agreement says Net 30 from invoice date. The invoice displays “Due 6 November 2026.” The Müşteri can now distinguish the payment deadline from the invoice date and the service period.

Problems this guide helps you solve

• Choosing the right document for the current stage of the deal (proposal, bill or payment record).
