Free credit card calculator to calculate credit card payoff time and interest. Instant results in your browser — no signup. Each month: interest = balance × APR/12; principal = payment − interest; new balance = old balance − principal.

Assumptions

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't balance drop?+

If payment only covers interest, principal never decreases — increase payment or negotiate APR.
