Most people are familiar with an interest rate but seem to be confused by a "money factor." An Interest Rate and a Money Factor are very similar! They are just represented differently.
An Interest Rate is represented as a percentage (like 6.5% interest).
A Money Factor is represented by a figure behind a decimal point (like .00250)
The way to convert a Money Factor into a comparable Interest Rate is to multiply the money factor by 2400. Therefore a Money Factor of .00250 converts to an interest rate of 6%.
