lets assume the full amount payable is $500

"\\therefore" Invoice full amount: $500

Invoice date: June 1

Invoice due date: 30 days 

Payment terms: 2/10 net 30

Discount period: 10 days

Begin counting days from the day after the invoice date.  

A quick formula is 100% – discount % x invoice amount.

100% – 2% = 98% x $500 = $490.
