Paying only the minimum on a credit card can keep you in debt far longer than it looks on paper. Our credit card payoff calculator shows exactly how long it’ll take to clear your balance, and how much interest you’ll pay along the way.
Enter your card balance, interest rate, and repayment amount, whether that’s the minimum or a higher fixed amount, and the calculator works out your payoff timeline and total interest cost. Adjust the repayment figure and see immediately how much time and interest a higher payment could save you, before you decide what actually to put toward the card each month.
This credit card repayment calculator also doubles as a credit card interest calculator, since it shows exactly how much of what you’re paying is going toward interest versus your actual balance, useful if you’re deciding between paying it down faster or exploring debt consolidation with a broker.
