How this calculator reads an offer

Headline amounts are the least useful number in an offer. The calculator starts from what lands in your account: net cash = funded amount minus fees taken at funding. If part of the money pays off an existing advance or loan, it also shows new cash, which is what you can actually spend.

It then builds a payment calendar from the funding date. Daily payments land on business days only (weekends skipped), weekly and biweekly payments every 7 or 14 days, monthly payments on the same date each month. The last payment is trimmed so the schedule adds up to the exact total repayment.

From that calendar it solves for the annual rate at which the dated payments are worth exactly the net cash you received. That is the estimated annualized cost. It is a way to compare offers with different speeds of repayment on one scale; it is not the APR printed on any disclosure, and it ignores bank holidays.

A worked comparison

Two offers for the same $50,000, funded on November 2, 2026:

Offer AOffer B
Fees taken at funding$1,500$0
Net cash$48,500$50,000
Total repayment$67,500$64,000
Payment$2,596.15 weekly$640 each business day
Number of payments26100
Repayment per $1 received$1.39$1.28

Offer B costs $5,000 less in dollars and less per dollar received. It also repays faster, in 100 business days against 26 weeks, and because the money is out for a shorter time its annualized cost comes out about level with A, near 135% on both in this illustration. So the real question is the payment: if your cash cycle can carry $640 every business day, B is the cheaper money. If daily debits would squeeze payroll weeks, A spreads the load. The calculator shows every number so the choice is about your cash flow, not the headline.

All figures in worked examples are illustrations of the arithmetic, not offers or quotes. Real terms depend on your file and the funder.

What to pull from each offer before you type

The funded amount and every fee deducted at funding, from the disclosure or term sheet
Any payoff of an existing balance, with the payoff letter amount
The total repayment (on an advance, the purchased amount; on a loan, principal plus all interest and fees)
The payment amount and frequency, and the date of the first debit
Early payoff terms: whether paying sooner reduces the total, and by how much

Several states require a written disclosure of these numbers for commercial financing. See disclosure rules by state, and the step by step guide to net proceeds and total remittance.

When the cheapest offer is the wrong one

Pick on cost only after the payment passes a cash test. Run the payment through the payment burden calculator with your real weekly deposits and a slow-month case. An offer that costs a few cents less per dollar but overdraws the account in a slow week is the expensive one.

When you are ready, a quick qualification check does not affect your credit, and the application takes about five minutes.

Common questions

Is the annualized cost the same as APR?

No. It is calculated from the dated payments you enter and the net cash you receive, without bank holidays or any fees you leave out. It is useful for comparing offers on one scale; the disclosure on a real offer is the document to rely on.

Why do daily payments raise the annualized cost?

Because the money is repaid faster. The same total repaid over fewer weeks means each dollar is outstanding for a shorter time, which raises the annualized figure even when the dollar cost is lower.

Should I include a payoff of my current advance?

Yes. Enter it so the calculator shows new cash. The cost per dollar is still measured on net cash received, because the payoff is money you received and used.

What if an offer only gives a factor rate?

Multiply the funded amount by the factor rate to get the total repayment, then enter the payment amount and frequency from the offer.

Does Merchant Fund Express show these numbers before I sign?

Yes. Every offer shows the amount, the full repayment amount and the payment schedule before you accept.
