How these numbers are worked out
Total paid is the advance times the factor. The calculator needs a factor of 1 or more, fees below the advance, a whole number of business days and an advance of no more than $100,000,000; otherwise every result shows a dash and says why. You receive the advance minus any fees. Total cost is the total paid minus what you receive. The daily payment is the total divided by the number of business days.
The APR estimate treats the deal as receiving the amount you get, then making equal payments each business day. It finds the per-day return that makes those payments worth exactly what you received, then multiplies by 252 business days in a year. That makes it a nominal figure: the per-day return times 252, not compounded. This is an estimate. It assumes level payments on every business day. Real agreements differ: some take a percentage of sales, some pay weekly, and some add fees later.
The example values on this page are starting points, not an offer or a quote.
If you pay early
Many agreements set the total at signing. Paying early may not lower it, and it can make the APR higher because the same cost is spread over fewer days. Ask the funder in writing whether early payoff reduces the total. Our guide to how cost works lists the other questions to ask.
