💸 Credit Card Payoff Calculator

How long will that card balance really take to clear — and how much interest will it cost you on the way? Enter the balance, the card's APR and the fixed amount you can pay every month.

How to use the Credit Card Payoff Calculator

  1. Enter your current card balance.
  2. Enter the card's annual APR (%) — it is printed on your statement.
  3. Enter the fixed monthly payment you can afford, then press Calculate.
Example: A balance of Rs 50,000 at 36% APR, repaid at Rs 3,000 per month, takes 24 months to clear and costs Rs 20,360.29 in interest — Rs 70,360.29 paid in total.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the calculator warn about small payments?

If your payment does not cover even one month's interest, the balance grows instead of shrinking and can never be cleared. The warning tells you the first month's interest — any lasting payment must be above it.

Does this assume I stop using the card?

Yes — the estimate assumes no new spending on the card, no fees, and the same fixed payment every month. New purchases or missed payments will lengthen the payoff.

Would paying a little more each month help?

Enormously — every extra amount reduces the balance that next month's interest is charged on. Try raising the payment above and watch the total interest fall.
