How to use it

Use this calculator to see how your monthly payment and APR may affect payoff time and interest costs.

Calculation method

The calculator estimates interest monthly and applies the entered payment until the balance is paid off.

Important limitation

This estimate assumes no new charges, fees, promotional rates, or minimum payment changes.

Example scenario

A $6,500 balance at 22.9% APR with a $300 monthly payment can be compared against a higher or lower payment to see the payoff difference.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Does this include new purchases?

No. The estimate assumes no new charges are added to the card. New purchases, fees, or rate changes can increase payoff time.

Why does a higher payment make such a large difference?

A higher payment reduces the balance faster, which also reduces the amount of future interest that can build on the remaining balance.

What happens if my payment is too low?

If the payment is too low to cover monthly interest and reduce the balance, the calculator will show a warning instead of a payoff timeline.
