The calculator shows the true cost.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="calc" id="calc-mca"&gt;
 &lt;div class="row"&gt;
 &lt;div&gt;&lt;label&gt;Advance amount&lt;/label&gt;&lt;input name="amount" type="number" inputmode="decimal" value="50000" min="1000" step="1000"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;div&gt;&lt;label&gt;Factor rate&lt;/label&gt;&lt;input name="factor" type="number" inputmode="decimal" value="1.30" min="1.01" max="2" step="0.01"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;div&gt;&lt;label&gt;Estimated payback period (months)&lt;/label&gt;&lt;input name="months" type="number" inputmode="decimal" value="8" min="1" max="36" step="1"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;div&gt;&lt;label&gt;Payment frequency&lt;/label&gt;&lt;select name="freq"&gt;&lt;option value="daily"&gt;Daily (business days)&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="weekly"&gt;Weekly&lt;/option&gt;&lt;/select&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;div class="out"&gt;
 &lt;div&gt;&lt;b data-out="payback"&gt;–&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Total payback&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;div&gt;&lt;b data-out="cost"&gt;–&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Cost of capital&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;div&gt;&lt;b data-out="payment"&gt;–&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Payment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;div&gt;&lt;b data-out="apr"&gt;–&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Effective APR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;div&gt;&lt;b data-out="simple"&gt;–&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Annualized simple cost&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;p class="small" style="margin:var(--space-4) 0 0"&gt;Effective APR accounts for the fact that you repay early and often, so the funder has your money for less time than the headline term suggests. That is why a 1.30 factor over 8 months is not "30%". Estimates only; your contract governs.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Business loan payment calculator</title><link>https://fundingfastlane.com/calculators/loan-payment/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://fundingfastlane.com/calculators/loan-payment/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Enter the amount, APR, term and origination fee from your quote.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;div&gt;&lt;b data-out="total"&gt;–&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Total cost incl. fee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2 id="reading-the-results"&gt;Reading the results&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monthly payment&lt;/strong&gt; is the standard amortized payment. Some online lenders bill weekly; divide by 4.33 for a rough weekly figure.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Total interest&lt;/strong&gt; is what the loan costs over the full term if you make every payment on schedule.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Origination fee&lt;/strong&gt; is usually deducted from proceeds, so a $100,000 loan with a 3% fee lands $97,000 in your account while you repay $100,000.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Total cost including fee&lt;/strong&gt; is the number to compare against an advance&amp;rsquo;s cost of capital on the &lt;a href="https://fundingfastlane.com/calculators/mca-cost/"&gt;advance calculator&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id="rules-of-thumb"&gt;Rules of thumb&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lenders want payments to fit inside about 80% of your free monthly cash flow (a debt service coverage ratio of 1.25). If the monthly payment is more than that, expect a smaller approval or a longer term.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A longer term lowers the payment but raises total interest. For equipment, match the term to the asset&amp;rsquo;s useful life.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed rates protect thin margins. Ask whether the rate is fixed for the full term.&lt;/li&gt;
