How this works

Estimate average collection time from credit sales and receivables.

Formula

Collection days = average receivables ÷ credit sales × period days.

Assumptions and limits

Use matching periods and exclude cash sales. An average, not a due-date prediction.

Worked example

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