Franchise calculators
Run the numbers before you sign. Each calculator can load a brand’s figures from its FDD, or use your own.
- True cost calculatorStartup cost plus royalties, brand fund and fixed fees over the years you own it.
- Payback calculatorYearly owner profit and how long it takes to earn back the investment.
- SBA loan calculatorDown payment, loan amount and monthly payment for financing a franchise.
- Side-by-side comparisonPick 2–3 brands and compare startup costs, royalties, and unit growth.
What the models include
The true cost calculator combines startup investment with recurring fees over the entered term. The payback calculator subtracts your fee, operating-cost and salary assumptions from sales. The loan calculator estimates payments from your project budget and financing assumptions.
Brand inputs come from the recorded FDD. Provisional records retain their source warnings. Only compatible fee terms can prefill a combined percentage; fixed, varying or conditional charges need separate review. Input defaults are examples, not forecasts or lender quotes.
