The Merchant Cash Advance Calculator

A calculator is sitting on top of a piece of paper next to a pen.

Understanding the costs associated with an MCA loan can be tricky due to the unique way in which they are structured. That's why we've developed an easy-to-use MCA Calculator. This tool is designed to demystify the costs by providing clear insights into your total payback amount, daily payments, and the Annual Percentage Rate (APR), which can help compare the cost of an MCA against other financing options.

How It Works


Our MCA Calculator requires just a few key pieces of information to work its magic:
  1. Advance Amount : The total amount of funds you will receive.
  2. Factor Rate : A multiplier used to determine the total amount you owe. For example, a factor rate of 1.2 on a $10,000 advance means you'll repay $12,000.
  3. Daily Retrieval Rate (%) : The percentage of daily sales dedicated to repaying the advance.

Once you input these figures, the calculator instantly provides you with the total payback amount and an estimated daily payment. For businesses looking to understand the true cost of an MCA, the calculator also estimates the APR, offering a more standardized way to compare different financial products.

Why Use the MCA Calculator?


Transparency : The calculator breaks down the costs associated with your MCA, ensuring there are no surprises down the line.
Planning : By understanding your daily payments and total payback amount, you can make informed decisions about your business's cash flow management.
Comparison : The APR estimate allows you to compare the MCA against other financing options on a like-for-like basis, ensuring you choose the most cost-effective solution for your needs.
The Merchant Cash Advance Calculator is more than just a tool; it's a gateway to making more informed financial decisions for your business. By providing clarity on the costs of an MCA, it empowers business owners to plan with confidence, compare their options wisely, and ultimately, choose the financing solution that best suits their needs.
Whether you're considering an MCA for the first time or you're a seasoned user looking to better manage your finances, we encourage you to give the calculator a try. It's simple, straightforward, and could save your business a significant amount of money in the long run.

*The APR calculation is simplified and doesn't accurately represent the true cost of an MCA since it doesn't account for the term of repayment or the daily retrieval rate's impact on the effective APR.  Calculating APR for an MCA product requires a detailed understanding of financial principles and the specific terms of the advance.
