How the payment is built

Total payback is the amount times the factor rate. The payment is that total divided by the number of collections: five a week for a daily schedule, one a week for a weekly one. The monthly equivalent lets you compare with your deposits.

A test worth running

In practice

An owner enters $60,000 at 1.28 over 26 weeks and sees a payback of $76,800 and about $591 a day. Against $70,000 in deposits the monthly share is 18%. She tests 20 weeks and sees the payment climb to 23%, so she keeps 26.

Common questions

Does this include fees?

No. Deduct them from the amount you receive to see net proceeds. Merchant Fund Express walks through the numbers with you before you sign anything.

Why five days a week?

ACH debits settle on business days.

Can I use it for a split of card sales?

Not directly. A split moves with volume.

What is a healthy share?

It depends on your margin; many owners aim below a fifth of revenue.
