MCA Funding Amount Estimator

How Much MCA
Can I Actually Get?

MCA amounts aren't arbitrary — they follow a formula based on your average monthly deposits and a profile-based multiplier. Understand the formula, see your estimate, and know what levers move the number before you apply.

Quick Answer

MCA amounts are typically 75%–150% of your 3-month average monthly deposits. A business averaging $20,000/month can typically access $15,000–$30,000. Your specific multiplier depends on FICO score, time in business, NSF frequency, and whether you have an existing advance. Higher deposits + clean profile = larger advance at better terms.

The MCA Amount Formula

Underwriters use a straightforward calculation. Here's how it works.

How MCA Amount Is Calculated
MCA Amount = 3-Month Avg Monthly Deposits × Multiplier
Multiplier range: 0.75x → 1.5x → (up to 2.0x for elite files)
Multiplier is determined by your full risk profile — FICO, NSF count, time in business, and existing obligations
ProfileTypical MultiplierExample: $20K/Month DepositsWhat Gets You Here
Elite1.5x–2.0x$30,000–$40,000680+ FICO, 3+ years, 0 NSFs, no existing advance
Strong1.2x–1.5x$24,000–$30,000620+ FICO, 2+ years, 0–1 NSFs, clean history
Good1.0x–1.2x$20,000–$24,000580+ FICO, 1+ year, 0–2 NSFs, no major issues
Standard0.9x–1.0x$18,000–$20,000550–579 FICO, 6–12 months, 1–3 NSFs
Thin File0.75x–0.9x$15,000–$18,000500–549 FICO, under 1 year, 2–3 NSFs

Avg Monthly Deposits: $8,000
Typical Range
$6,000 – $12,000
Minimum-threshold businesses. Qualifies but at the lower end of the market. Building deposits over 2–3 months improves range significantly.
Avg Monthly Deposits: $15,000
Typical Range
$11,250 – $22,500
Solid mid-range. Most established small businesses fall in this band. Clean profile pushes toward the top of the range.
Avg Monthly Deposits: $25,000
Typical Range
$18,750 – $37,500
Above-average file. Strong deposit volume gives underwriters confidence. FICO and NSFs become the primary multiplier levers here.
Avg Monthly Deposits: $40,000
Typical Range
$30,000 – $60,000
High-volume business. Multiple funders will compete for this file. Strong profiles can access 1.5x easily. Multiple funders possible.
Avg Monthly Deposits: $75,000
Typical Range
$56,250 – $112,500
Large volume file. Will be underwritten in more detail. Strong FICO and 2+ years in business is important at this level.
Avg Monthly Deposits: $100,000+
Typical Range
$75,000 – $200,000+
Enterprise-level MCA. Multiple funders, potentially stacked. Full documentation package typical at this level. Call for personalized assessment.

How Much MCA Can I Get — FAQs

How much MCA can I get?

MCA amounts are typically 75%–150% of your average monthly bank deposits. A business averaging $20,000/month in deposits can typically receive $15,000–$30,000. The specific amount depends on your full risk profile: FICO, NSF frequency, time in business, and existing advance obligations.

How is the MCA amount calculated?

MCA Amount = (3-month average monthly deposits) × multiplier. The multiplier ranges from 0.75x to 1.5x, occasionally up to 2x for very strong files. Underwriters apply the multiplier based on your full risk profile.

What is the maximum MCA I can get?

There is no hard maximum — MCA amounts can range from $5,000 to $2,000,000+. The practical ceiling for most small businesses is roughly 1.5x their average monthly deposits. Larger amounts require multiple funders or stacked positions.

Does my credit score affect my MCA amount?

Yes, but indirectly. FICO primarily affects the multiplier and factor rate — not eligibility. A 650+ FICO may yield a 1.3x multiplier while a 550 FICO may yield a 0.9x multiplier on the same deposit base — a meaningful difference in offer size.

Can I get more than one MCA at the same time?

Yes — called second position or stacking. Some funders will advance on top of an existing MCA. Second-position advances are typically smaller (0.7x–0.8x multiplier) and carry higher factor rates. Most funders require net deposits after the current advance payment to be at minimum threshold.

How do I increase the amount of MCA I qualify for?

Most effective levers: increase average monthly deposits (grow revenue), reduce NSF events, improve FICO score over time, build more time in business, reduce existing advance balances before applying, and apply during your strongest revenue season to raise the 3-month average.

Will I automatically get the maximum amount?

No. The amount offered is based on your specific underwritten profile. You can negotiate by providing additional documentation or having multiple funders compete for your file. The estimates on this page are ranges, not guarantees.
