Estimated Delivery Date (EDD) is a crucial financial metric used to forecast when a company expects to receive payment from a customer. This calculator helps you determine your EDD based on your sales cycle and payment terms.
What is EDD Money?
EDD Money stands for Estimated Delivery Date Money, which refers to the projected amount of money that will be received by a company based on its sales and payment terms. It helps businesses manage cash flow and financial planning by providing a forecast of future income.
Key Points
- EDD Money is calculated based on sales forecasts and payment terms
- It helps businesses plan their cash flow and financial needs
- Accurate EDD Money estimates improve financial decision-making
How to Use the Calculator
Using the EDD Money Calculator is simple. Follow these steps:
- Enter your total sales forecast for the period
- Select your payment terms (e.g., net 30, net 60)
- Click "Calculate" to get your EDD Money estimate
- Review the result and adjust your inputs as needed
Formula and Calculation
The EDD Money is calculated using the following formula:
Formula
EDD Money = (Total Sales × Payment Percentage) + (Total Sales × Discount Percentage)
Where:
- Total Sales = Your projected sales amount
- Payment Percentage = Percentage of sales paid on time (based on payment terms)
- Discount Percentage = Percentage of sales paid early (if applicable)
The calculator uses standard payment terms to determine the payment percentage. For example:
- Net 30: 95% of sales paid on time, 5% paid early
- Net 60: 90% of sales paid on time, 10% paid early
Worked Example
Let's calculate EDD Money for a company with $100,000 in sales and net 30 payment terms.
Example Calculation
Total Sales = $100,000
Payment Percentage = 95% (for net 30)
Discount Percentage = 5% (for early payments)
EDD Money = ($100,000 × 0.95) + ($100,000 × 0.05) = $95,000 + $5,000 = $100,000
In this example, the EDD Money equals the total sales because all payments are expected to be received within the payment terms.
