What you get

Every financing option ranked by what it really costs

Every offer quotes its cost a different way. One shows a factoring fee, another an APR, another a factor rate, another a monthly charge. That is why the cheapest headline is rarely the cheapest deal. Enter the amount, type, and terms for each option, and the calculator restates them all as one true annualized cost, then ranks them from cheapest to most expensive so you can see which one actually wins.

  • One true annualized cost for factoring, a loan, an MCA, a card, ABL, and a line of credit
  • A ranked list, cheapest to most expensive, from the amounts and terms you enter
  • An apples-to-apples read so a low fee never disguises a high cost

True Cost Comparison

Which financing option actually costs the least?

Rank the same amount across a bank loan, invoice factoring, an MCA, and a business card by true annualized cost — so the sticker rate never hides the real price.

MCA fee factorA merchant cash advance is priced as a fee factor, not an interest rate — you repay the advance multiplied by this factor. A 1.35 factor on $100,000 means $135,000 repaid.

Factoring feeThe percentage a factor charges on each invoice it advances against — the cost of factoring, distinct from an MCA’s fee factor.
