True Cost of Financing
Turn a factor rate, fee, or interest rate into total cost and an APR you can compare.
| Side by side | Offer A | Offer B |
|---|---|---|
| You receive (after fees) | $50,000 | $48,500 |
| Each payment | $343.92 × 189 | $1,708.88 × 36 |
| Total you repay | $65,000 | $61,520 |
| Total cost of capital | $15,000 | $13,020 |
| Cost per $1 borrowed | 30¢ | 26¢ |
| Estimated APR | 73.0% | 16.2% |
Compare both numbers. APR annualizes cost, so short-term products can show a high APR even when the dollar cost is modest; long terms can show a low APR while costing more in total. Daily payments assume about 21 business days a month. Estimates only; your agreement and any required state disclosures govern actual terms.
