Payment reminder schedule generator

Pick a due date and a schedule, and see on which dates each reminder should go out.

By RemindCash Updated

Enter the invoice's due date, choose a schedule and the generator lists the date of every reminder, marking any that fall on a weekend. A good starting point is three reminders — 3 days before, on the due date and 3 days after — which is also RemindCash's default.

Generate your schedule

RemindCash uses the same rules: up to five steps between 30 days before and 30 days after the due date; with weekends off, weekend steps are skipped.

How the schedule is calculated

Each step is a number of days relative to the due date: negative before it, 0 on it, positive after it. For a due date of 15 October, -3, 0, 3 gives 12, 15 and 18 October. If you skip weekends, a step that lands on a Saturday or Sunday is not sent — it is skipped rather than moved, so the customer does not receive two reminders close together.

Which schedule to choose

Schedule Steps Good for
Default −3, 0, +3 Most invoices and regular customers
Standard −3, 0, +3, +7, +14 Invoices that often need a second follow-up
Early −14, −7, −3, 0, +3 Deposits and balances due before an event
Firm −7, 0, +7, +14, +30 Business customers with long payment terms

More detail on timing is in the guide when to send payment reminders; wording for each step is in the payment reminder email templates.

Send it automatically

In RemindCash you set this schedule once for your company — up to five steps between 30 days before and 30 days after the due date — and every receivable is reminded on it, within your send hours and in your customer's time zone, until it is paid.
