Payday loan calculator
How much will my same day payday loan cost?
Move the slider to your amount and enter the fee from your offer. The default of $30 per $100 is the top of the common range, so the result is a cautious estimate. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere.
Common range: $10–$30 per $100. Many state laws cap it lower; your offer shows the exact amount.
Some providers charge extra for 1-hour or instant delivery. Enter 0 if none.

Method: finance charge = amount × fee ÷ 100. APR = (finance charge + fast-funding fee) ÷ amount × 365 ÷ days, single payment, no compounding — an educational estimate, not a Regulation Z disclosure. A renewal is modelled as paying the fee only and keeping the full principal. Your loan agreement’s APR and payment schedule always govern.

$400 payday loan: amount, cost and repayment
$400 is one of the most common first-time payday loan amounts. After on-time repayment, many providers offer gradual increases up to $1,000–$1,500. The table shows what each amount costs for one pay period at three common fee levels.
| Loan amount | $15 per $100 | $20 per $100 | $30 per $100 |
|---|---|---|---|
| $100 | $15 → repay $115 | $20 → repay $120 | $30 → repay $130 |
| $200 | $30 → repay $230 | $40 → repay $240 | $60 → repay $260 |
| $300 | $45 → repay $345 | $60 → repay $360 | $90 → repay $390 |
| $400 | $60 → repay $460 | $80 → repay $480 | $120 → repay $520 |
| $500 | $75 → repay $575 | $100 → repay $600 | $150 → repay $650 |
On a narrow screen, scroll inside the table to see every column.
For a 14-day loan, $15 per $100 is about 391% APR and $30 per $100 is about 782% APR. At $30 per $100 the APR runs from about 353% for a 31-day term to about 1,369% for an 8-day term, and a returned payment can add a fee of around $25. Borrow only the amount you can repay in full on your next payday.
Funding speed
1 hour vs same day vs next day loans
5 minutes to fill out the application, and money can be in your account in as little as 1 hour. One-hour funding is usually available on business days between 9am and 3pm CT and may carry a separate fee; outside that window, funds typically arrive by the next business day. Here is how the three speeds compare:
| Speed | What it usually means | What it needs | Extra cost? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 hour loan | Money sent within about an hour of final approval | A business day before the cutoff, completed verification, an expedited or instant transfer | Often a separate fee |
| Same day loan | Money in your account on the day you are approved | Approval and release before the provider’s cutoff; same-day ACH or instant transfer | Sometimes |
| Next day loan | Money on the next business day | Standard ACH direct deposit | Usually none |
On a narrow screen, scroll inside the table to see every column.
How the money is sent: most payday loans are paid by ACH direct deposit. Nacha’s same-day ACH runs in several windows on business days, but not on weekends or federal holidays. [S1] Instant transfers through debit-card networks or the FedNow service can post in minutes, but only if both the provider and your bank support them. [S3] Old “wire transfer loans” are rare today because bank wires carry their own fees.
Applying by phone: providers usually confirm applications by phone or email. The application itself is online; keep your phone nearby, because a missed verification call is the most common reason a same-day loan becomes a next-day loan.
Requirements and what to have ready
Typical requirements for a same day payday loan:
- A job or proven source of regular income (often at least $1,000 per month)
- An active email address and a verifiable phone number
- A checking or savings account in good standing with direct deposits
- Age 18 or older and a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
To keep a same-day request on track, have these in front of you before you start:
- Your employer’s name and phone number, and your next two pay dates
- Your bank’s routing number and your account number
- A government-issued ID
- A recent pay stub or benefits statement, in case the provider asks for it
- Your phone, switched on, for the verification call
The provider that reviews your request sets the final requirements; check them on the application page.
Is Bottom Dollar Payday a direct lender?
No. Bottom Dollar Payday is a product and website, not a lender. Your application goes to an independent provider, which may be a direct lender or may pass your request to lenders in its network. Before you accept an offer, check the lender’s name, licence and terms. The lender verification checklist shows you how.
Is it available in my state?
Payday loan rules are set state by state. Choose your state to see whether the Bottom Dollar Payday product accepts applications there.
Based on the exclusion list in this site’s footer. Where applications are accepted, availability still depends on participating providers and state law. You can also check a lender’s licence with your state regulator: licence check.
Before you renew: the real cost of paying only the fee
With many payday loans the minimum payment on each due date is the finance fee, and a new fee is due every time you carry the balance to the next payday. At $30 per $100, a $400 loan renewed three times costs $480 in fees, and you still owe the full $400.
| $400 loan at $30 per $100 | Fees paid so far | Still owed |
|---|---|---|
| Repaid on first payday | $120 | $0 |
| Renewed once | $240 | $0 after paying $520 |
| Renewed three times | $480 | $0 after paying $520 |
| Renewed five times | $720 | $0 after paying $520 |
On a narrow screen, scroll inside the table to see every column.
If repaying in full looks hard, pay down principal on every due date, ask for an extended payment plan, or read repayment help. The CFPB explains how repeated renewals add up. [S2]

Same day payday loan questions
Can I get a same day payday loan online?
Often, if you apply early on a business day, complete verification quickly and the provider releases funds before its cutoff. Your bank and the transfer method decide when the money is usable, so same-day funding is possible but not guaranteed.
Is a 1 hour payday loan guaranteed?
No. Approval and funding time depend on the provider, verification and your bank. One-hour funding is usually available only on business days, roughly 9am–3pm CT, and may carry a separate fee.
How much does a $400 payday loan cost?
At $15 per $100 a $400 loan costs $60 ($460 due on payday); at $30 per $100 it costs $120 ($520 due). Use the calculator with the rate in your own offer.
Is there a credit check for same day loans?
Many same day lenders do not run a hard credit check with the three major bureaus; they use a soft check or specialty data that does not affect your FICO score. The provider decides which checks apply, so ask before you submit. More: no hard credit check loans.
Can I get a same day loan without a bank account?
Same day payday loans are deposited electronically, so you need a checking or savings account in good standing. Without one, see loans without a bank account.
Can I get money on a weekend?
You can apply any day, but standard ACH transfers do not settle on weekends or federal holidays. A request finished on Friday after the cutoff usually funds on Monday or Tuesday. More: weekend loans.
What is the difference between a same day loan and a next day loan?
A same day loan is released before the provider’s cutoff and posts the same business day; a next day loan uses standard ACH and posts the following business day. Read next-day and same-day funding stages.
Need cash today?
The online application takes about 5 minutes. Approval is not guaranteed; review the cost and funding time of any offer before you accept.
