How the cash flow works

1

Invoice issued

You issue a $100,000 invoice to your customer with 30-day payment terms.

2

Advance received

The funder advances $85,000 (85%) to your account within 24-48 hours.

3

Holdback released

Customer pays after ~30 days. You receive the $15,000 holdback minus the $2,000.00 fee.

What your scenarios reveal

Compare payment terms

Switch between 30, 60, and 90-day terms to see how slower-paying customers increase your effective APR. Longer terms mean your capital is tied up longer for the same fee.

Find your break-even advance rate

Adjust the advance rate to see how much upfront cash you actually receive. A higher advance rate means more working capital but the same discount fee, so your effective APR drops.

Negotiate the discount fee

Even a 0.5% reduction in the discount fee can save thousands annually. Use the calculator to quantify the saving and take it to your provider.

Scale up your invoice volume

Slide the monthly invoice value up to see how costs scale. The effective APR stays the same, but the dollar cost grows linearly with volume.
