Business Financing calculators

Business financing is often quoted in ways that hide the true cost: factor rates, flat fees, holdbacks and “per 30 days” pricing. These calculators convert every offer into the same yardstick — an annual percentage rate (APR) — so you can compare a merchant cash advance, invoice factoring and a term or equipment loan side by side.

Each tool shows the cash you actually receive, the total you repay and the effective annual cost, along with the questions to ask before you sign.

Business Financing calculators

Which business financing calculator do you need?

  • Comparing a merchant cash advance offer? The MCA calculator converts the factor rate and fees into an APR and shows the daily or weekly payment.
  • Waiting on customer invoices? The invoice factoring calculator shows the advance, fees, rebate and effective annual cost.
  • Buying equipment or vehicles? The equipment loan calculator estimates payments, APR and potential Section 179 tax savings.

Always compare on APR

Business financing is priced in many ways — factor rates, per-30-day fees, holdbacks, points and interest rates. The only fair comparison is the annual percentage rate on the cash you actually receive, over the time you actually use it. A 1.3 factor rate repaid in six months, a 3% fee per 30 days and a 12% term loan can differ by a factor of ten in real cost. Before you sign, ask every provider for the total repayment amount, all fees and the expected term, then run the numbers here.
