How MCA math works

Factor rate

A factor rate is a one-time multiplier on the advance, not an interest rate. A $50,000 advance at 1.35 means $67,500 is owed, whatever the repayment takes.

RTR (Right To Receive)

RTR is the total owed: advance × factor rate. Investors track the share of RTR collected so far as percentage paid.

Payback speed matters

The dollar cost is fixed, but faster repayment returns capital sooner so it can be redeployed. That is why investors watch days to payoff, not just factor rate.

What investors actually earn

Realized profit is collections minus advanced capital, funder fees and write-offs. Defaults and partial recoveries change the return far more than a 0.05 difference in factor rate.
