Understanding Credit Card Debt

How Credit Card Interest Works

Credit card interest is calculated daily based on your average daily balance. The annual percentage rate (APR) is divided by 365 to get the daily rate.

Minimum Payment Trap

Making only minimum payments can keep you in debt for decades. Most minimum payments are calculated as 2-3% of your balance, which barely covers the interest charges.

Debt Payoff Strategies

  • Pay More Than Minimum: Even $25 extra can save thousands in interest
  • Avalanche Method: Pay minimums on all cards, extra on highest APR
  • Snowball Method: Pay minimums on all cards, extra on smallest balance
  • Balance Transfer: Move debt to a lower interest rate card

💳 Credit Card Interest Calculator – Know Your Dues Before It’s Too Late

Credit cards offer convenience, rewards, and purchasing power — but if not managed carefully, they can quickly lead to high-interest debt. Our Credit Card Interest Calculator helps you understand how much interest you'll pay if you don't pay your full credit card bill on time.

This free tool lets you calculate your monthly interest, outstanding balance growth, and repayment timeline based on your spending and payment habits.

Why Use It?

  • Avoid surprise charges
  • Make smarter financial decisions
  • Understand repayment options
  • Compare different payment scenarios

How It Works

We use the daily interest method, which most credit card issuers follow. Based on your balance, APR, and monthly payment, we estimate:

  • Monthly interest
  • Total interest payable
  • Time to repay debt

Example Calculation

If your balance is ₹50,000 at 36% APR and you pay ₹3,000 monthly, your monthly interest is ₹1,500 and your repayment will take nearly 23 months with over ₹13,000 in interest.

Tips to Reduce Credit Card Debt

  • Always pay more than the minimum
  • Avoid carrying forward balances
  • Use balance transfer offers wisely
  • Track your billing cycle and due dates
