Accounts receivable aging report

An accounts receivable aging report groups your unpaid invoices by how overdue they are, usually into buckets like current, 1 to 30 days, 31 to 60 days, and 60-plus days. It shows at a glance which invoices, and which clients, need attention most urgently.

How to read an aging report

The further right an invoice sits, the older and riskier it is. Money in the 60-plus bucket is far less likely to be collected than money in the current bucket, so an aging report tells you where to spend your chasing effort. A rising older bucket is an early warning that your collections have slipped.

Frequently asked questions

What is an aging report used for?

An aging report shows which unpaid invoices are current and which are badly overdue, grouped into date buckets. It helps you prioritise collections, spot clients who consistently pay late, and estimate how much of your receivables is at real risk. Owendly shows a live aging breakdown on your dashboard.

What are the standard aging report buckets?

The standard buckets are current (not yet due), 1 to 30 days overdue, 31 to 60 days, 61 to 90 days, and over 90 days. Some businesses simplify to current, 30, 60, and 90-plus. The older the bucket an invoice reaches, the lower the odds of collecting it in full.
