payment schedules

When bills arrive

Payment schedules are plans specifying when payments are due and in what amounts.

They break larger obligations into installments: The contract includes a payment schedule of twelve monthly installments.

Loans, mortgages, construction projects, and subscription services all operate on payment schedules.

A schedule might tie payments to dates, milestones, or deliverables.
