What this calculator estimates
Estimate merchant cash advance payback, holdback remittance, repayment time and simple annualized cost. It is designed for fast planning and comparison in the United States. The output is an estimate, not a binding quote, approval, tax determination, insurance offer or professional recommendation.
How to use it
Enter the requested values using a single consistent time period and currency. Select Calculate, review the headline result and supporting figures, then change one assumption at a time to compare another scenario.
How the calculation works
Total payback equals the advance multiplied by the factor rate. Estimated repayment time divides that payback by the monthly card-sales holdback.
Important limitations
A factor rate is not an APR. Daily remittances, changing sales, renewals and additional fees can make the effective annual cost very different.
