How QuickBooks calculates finance charges ?


QuickBooks uses the following equation to calculate finance charges:

Number of days past due x balance due x rate/365

E.g.



Suppose that on 1st June you invoice a customer
whose terms are Net 30 and the grace period is 10 days.



If the customer paid on 2nd July :

QuickBooks does not assess finance charges as it paid within the grace period.

If the customer has not paid up to 15th July (Assessment date) :

You can calculate finance charges from due date or Invoice date (From 1st June or 1stJuly ) depending on the preference setting.
