How this works

Estimate payment timing using trade payables and credit purchases.

Formula

Payment days = average payables ÷ credit purchases × period days.

Assumptions and limits

Match the periods. This uses credit purchases rather than cost of sales.

Worked example

Replace the example with your own figures, then compare scenarios. Include all relevant costs and use records from matching periods.
