Count the number of days in each month until the total number of days is reached for the term of the note and this will be the due date. Interest is not charged on the first day of the note.

Typically, the maker of a dishonored note fails to pay the note on the due date. A company that holds a dishonored note transfers the face amount of the note plus any interest due back to an accounts receivable account. Interest revenue is not dependent on receiving the interest at this point.

Cash received will include the maturity value of the note.
