Payment Plan Calculator
Some overdue accounts need a practical payment arrangement rather than another reminder. Model an instalment amount and frequency before proposing a schedule the customer can realistically keep.
How to use this resource
- Enter the balance to be repaid.
- Choose the number of instalments.
- Select weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments.
- Review the approximate instalment and document agreed dates, terms and consequences of missed payments.
How to structure an invoice payment plan
A useful payment arrangement should state the amount owed, the agreed instalment dates, where payments go and what happens if an instalment is missed.
This simple calculator divides the principal into equal instalments. The final payment may differ by a small rounding amount. It deliberately excludes interest and collection charges.
Make arrangements easy to manage
Send written confirmation of the agreed schedule, monitor each expected payment and respond early when a promised instalment does not arrive.
A payment plan only works when it is affordable to the payer and properly recorded in your receivables process.
