About the Business Loan Calculator

Enter the amount, rate, term and fees to get the monthly payment and the true cost of business borrowing. The calculator handles both conventional amortizing loans and the factor rate pricing used by merchant cash advances and short-term lenders.

Factor rates are where business borrowers lose the most money, because they are not interest rates and cannot be compared to them directly. A factor of 1.3 on fifty thousand means repaying sixty-five thousand regardless of how fast you repay it, which over a short term is an APR many times the number implies. Converting a factor rate to an APR is the only way to compare it against a bank loan, and the calculator does that conversion for you.

Key features of the Business Loan Calculator

Factor rates converted to APR

A factor of 1.3 over a short term is an APR many times what the number suggests, and the conversion makes that visible.

Every fee in the APR

Origination, closing, packaging and guarantee fees all belong in the comparison figure.

Two pricing models

Conventional interest and factor pricing in one place, so offers of different shapes can be compared.

Early repayment reality

On a factor rate, repaying early saves nothing — the calculator says so rather than implying otherwise.

Total cost of capital

The full amount repaid, which is the number that comes out of the business.
