Credit-Card Payoff Calculator

Credit-card payoff calculator

Assumptions: figures use the values you entered, monthly periods, and no tax, fees, insurance, changing rates, or currency conversion unless you include them in an amount. Educational estimate only—not financial, investment, or tax advice.

What this calculator shows

An estimate of how many monthly payments and how much interest may be involved when you pay a fixed amount toward a revolving balance.

How to use it

Enter 3000, 20 and 150 to explore a balance of 3,000 at 20% annual interest with a fixed monthly payment of 150.

Worked example

Use the example figures above as a learning exercise, then replace them with your own figures and compare more than one scenario before deciding.

Questions people ask

Why must my payment exceed the first month’s interest? Otherwise the balance does not reduce under this simplified calculation.

This tool is designed for clear estimates, not a final quote, offer or recommendation.
