Accounts Receivable Days (AR Days) Calculator
Calculate how many days on average it takes a company to collect payment after a sale has been made. Also known as Days Sales Outstanding (DSO).
Accounts Receivable ($)
Total Revenue / Net Credit Sales ($)
Period (Days)
Annual (365 days) Annual — Banker's Year (360 days) Quarterly (90 days) Semi-Annual (180 days)
Calculate
### Results
AR Days (DSO)— Daily Revenue— AR Turnover Ratio— Period Used—
function accCalc() { var errEl = document.getElementById('acc-error'); var resEl = document.getElementById('acc-result'); errEl.style.display = 'none'; resEl.style.display = 'none';
var ar = parseFloat(document.getElementById('acc-ar').value); var revenue = parseFloat(document.getElementById('acc-revenue').value); var period = parseFloat(document.getElementById('acc-period').value);

if (errors.length > 0) { errEl.innerHTML = errors.join(''); errEl.style.display = 'block'; return; }
// --- Formula --- // AR Days = (Accounts Receivable / Revenue) × Period var arDays = (ar / revenue) * period; var dailyRev = revenue / period; var arTurnover = revenue / ar; // times per period
// --- Populate outputs --- document.getElementById('acc-out-days').textContent = arDays.toFixed(1) + ' days'; document.getElementById('acc-out-daily').textContent = '$' + dailyRev.toLocaleString('en-US', {minimumFractionDigits:2, maximumFractionDigits:2}); document.getElementById('acc-out-turnover').textContent = arTurnover.toFixed(2) + 'x';
var periodLabel = {365:'Annual (365 days)', 360:"Banker's Year (360 days)", 90:'Quarterly (90 days)', 180:'Semi-Annual (180 days)'}; document.getElementById('acc-out-period').textContent = periodLabel[period] || period + ' days';

resEl.style.display = 'block'; }
#### Formula
AR Days (DSO) = (Accounts Receivable ÷ Net Credit Sales) × Number of Days
Equivalently:
AR Days = Number of Days ÷ AR Turnover Ratio
Where: AR Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales ÷ Accounts Receivable
#### Assumptions & References
- Revenue should ideally represent net credit sales only; cash sales should be excluded if possible.
- Reference: Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB); Investopedia — Days Sales Outstanding (DSO).
