How to read your results

Total payback is the advance amount multiplied by the factor rate — the total you'll pay over the life of the advance. Cost of funding is the difference between what you receive and what you pay back.

Estimated APR converts the cost into an annual rate so you can compare a merchant cash advance with a loan or line of credit. Shorter terms produce higher APRs for the same factor rate.

A merchant cash advance makes sense when the money earns or saves more than it costs. For example, if a $50,000 advance costing $15,000 lets you take a job that earns $40,000 in profit, the funding pays for itself. Learn more in our factor rate guide.

Calculator FAQs

How do I calculate the cost of a merchant cash advance?
Multiply the advance amount by the factor rate to get the total payback. Subtract the advance amount to get the cost. Example: $50,000 × 1.3 = $65,000 payback, so the cost is $15,000.
How do I calculate my daily MCA payment?
Divide the total payback by the number of business days in the term. A 6-month term has roughly 126 business days (about 21 per month).
Why is the APR so much higher than the factor rate?
A factor rate applies to the whole advance regardless of term, and payments start right away. Over a short term, this results in a high annualized rate. APR lets you compare an MCA to other financing.
