due date
When it's owed
A due date is the date by which something must be completed, submitted, or paid: The due date for the assignment is Friday, We paid the bill before the due date.
In pregnancy, a due date is the estimated date of delivery—when the baby is expected to arrive: She's three days past her due date.
