Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula to calculate your monthly payments:

M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ] Where: M = Monthly payment P = Card balance (principal) i = Monthly interest rate (APR/12) n = Number of payments (term in months)

This formula accounts for both the principal amount and the interest charges, providing an accurate estimate of your monthly payments.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example to understand how the calculator works:

Example Scenario:

Card Balance: $5,000
Interest Rate: 18% APR
Repayment Term: 36 months

Using the formula:

i = 18%/12 = 0.015 (1.5% monthly) n = 36 M = 5000 [ 0.015(1.015)^36 ] / [ (1.015)^36 - 1 ] M ≈ $154.23

This means you would pay approximately $154.23 per month to repay your $5,000 balance over 36 months at an 18% APR.

Understanding Your Results

When you use the calculator, you'll receive several key pieces of information:

Monthly Payment: The amount you need to pay each month to repay your card balance.
Total Interest: The total amount of interest you'll pay over the repayment period.
Total Repayment: The sum of your monthly payments plus the total interest.

These figures help you understand the cost of your Citi Health Card and plan your repayment strategy accordingly.

Note: The calculator provides estimates based on the information you provide. Actual payments may vary due to changes in interest rates or other factors.
