Days sales outstanding (DSO)

How many days, on average, your customers take to pay you from the time you invoice them.

Calculate it with your figures

It is calculated in your browser: nothing is sent or saved. Use both figures on the same basis: both with VAT or both without VAT.

Issued invoices pending collection, overdue or not.

The ones you don’t collect in cash. If you sell almost everything on credit, use your total sales.

Enter your figures and you’ll see the result instantly.
