What does Net 7 mean?
Net 7 is a payment term stating that the full ("net") invoice amount is due 7 calendar days after the invoice date. It's one of the most common ways businesses agree on when an invoice gets paid. Net 7 is common for freelancers and small studios that need fast cash flow on smaller jobs. Counting starts from the invoice date unless your contract says "from receipt" or "from delivery", so spell out which one you mean on the invoice.
Early-payment discounts & late fees
You can pair Net 7 with an early-payment discount written as "2/10 Net 7" — 2% off if the client pays within 10 days, otherwise the full amount is due in 7 days. To discourage late payment, many businesses add a late fee of roughly 1.5% per month on overdue balances. State both the due date and any late-fee policy clearly on every invoice so there's no ambiguity.
