A factor rate hides the real cost. The same $100k at 1.40 over 12 months prices near 70% APR once you account for the daily debit, because you repay while your balance is still high. Estimates only, not an offer.

Common questions

Factor rates, in plain terms

Is a factor rate the same as an interest rate?

+

No. A factor rate is a multiplier on the amount funded. A 1.40 factor on $100,000 means you repay $140,000 in total, regardless of how fast you pay it. Because you repay on a daily or weekly debit while your balance is still high, the true annualized cost (APR) is far higher than the factor implies.

How do you calculate the true APR?

+

This tool solves the internal rate of return over the real repayment schedule, then annualizes it the way the Truth in Lending Act defines APR. It is the same pricing engine the platform uses to compare offers, not the flat total-cost-over-years shortcut that under-reports the number.

Why is my MCA APR so high?

+

A short term plus a fixed total payback means the money is expensive per year. A 1.40 factor repaid over 12 months on a daily debit prices near 70% APR. The shorter the term for the same factor, the higher the APR, because you give the money back faster.
