How it works

Enter your credit card balance, APR, and either a fixed monthly payment or a target payoff timeline. The calculator applies monthly interest to the remaining balance and estimates how long payoff takes, total interest paid, and the first-month principal versus interest split. Minimum-payment rules and promotional rates are not modeled.

Limitations

Assumes a fixed APR and steady monthly payment without new charges. Promotional rates, fees, and daily compounding may change real payoff timing.
