How this service works
Calculates early payment discount APR and factoring economics. Same calculator as invoice-discount-calculator, exposed under likely buyer search terms. Use it as an invoice discount API or early payment discount APR API.
Output
Returns a structured JSON object with a letter-style grade (e.g. 'strong'), a numeric score (0–100), effective APR percentage, discount amount, net cash received, cost premium vs a capital benchmark, any warnings, and a plain-English recommendation. Also identifies the calculator used and confirms it is a deterministic in-process computation with no upstream API dependency.
Example use cases
Evaluate early payment discount offer
“I have a $150,000 invoice with net-60 terms and my supplier is offering a 2% discount if I pay within 10 days — what's the effective APR on that deal and is it worth taking?”
Benchmark factoring cost vs capital
“We're thinking of factoring a $250,000 invoice at a 1.5% fee with 30-day terms — can you calculate the annualized cost and tell me how it compares to a 7% cost of capital benchmark?”
Score a batch of receivables discount offers
“I've got a $45,000 invoice being offered at a 2.5% early pay discount on net-45 terms — run the full invoice discount APR calculation and give me a grade and recommendation on whether to proceed.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.agentutility.ai/invoice-discount-apiWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, deterministic calculation of the annualized cost of an early payment discount or invoice factoring arrangement — particularly when you want a scored recommendation and cost-vs-benchmark comparison rather than a raw APR formula. Prefer it over generic finance libraries when you want a structured grade and recommendation suitable for agent decision-making pipelines.
Side effects
- Missing required fields (invoice amount, discount rate, or term days) returns a validation error
- Non-numeric or negative values for financial inputs may return an error or unexpected results
- Extreme edge cases (0-day terms, 100% discount) may produce warnings or unreliable scores
- x402 payment failure or insufficient USDC balance prevents the call from completing
