Merchant cash advance calculator

Converts a merchant cash advance factor rate into the total you repay and an approximate yearly cost.

How it works it out

The total repayable is the advance multiplied by the factor rate. The yearly cost divides the fee by the average balance over the months you expect to take to repay, because the balance falls as you repay it.

The result is an approximation for comparing offers. It is not an APR.

What it cannot tell you

How long repayment will take. It moves with your card takings.

Finance is subject to status and to the lender’s terms. A personal guarantee makes you liable for the company’s debt if it does not repay, and it can be enforced against your own assets, including your home. Nothing here is a personal recommendation.
