The Challenge
A payment in parts should still make one clear picture.
See the original amount, every installment, and the unpaid remainder together.
Several payments need one clear record
Keep each received amount connected to the original payment instead of piecing together separate notes.
The balance and due date both matter
A partial payment reduces what is owed. The agreed due date tells you whether the remainder is overdue.
Your Installment History
Two installments. One payment. A clear remaining balance.
A client owes $2,000 and pays $750, then $500. Whatisdue keeps the $1,250 received and the $750 remaining easy to follow.

How It Works
Track installments in three simple steps.
Start with the expected amount, then keep the record current as each installment arrives.
Set the expected payment
Add the client and project, then create the payment amount you agreed to receive.
Record each installment
Enter each received amount against that payment, including any fees deducted.
Review what remains
See the total received and remaining balance together with the payment's agreed timing.
Payment Clarity
What the client paid and what you received, clearly separated.
Processing and platform fees can reduce the amount that reaches your account. Record those deductions alongside the payment to keep both figures clear.
A $1,000 payment with $30 in fees means $970 net received. The fees do not add $30 to the client's remaining balance.
