How this calculator works

Enter the amount you're borrowing, the factor rate, the term and any establishment fee. The calculator multiplies the amount by the factor rate, adds the fee and splits the total into equal repayments on the schedule you choose.

Next, the calculator finds the annual interest rate that would cost the same on an ordinary loan with those repayments. That's the true annual rate. Banks quote their rates the same way, so you can compare the two directly.

The bank comparison under the result uses 12% a year as a round example. Your bank's actual rate depends on your business and the security you can offer.
