How Credit Card Interest Works

Credit card interest is calculated based on the average daily balance you carry on your card. The formula for simple interest is:

Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time) / 100

Principal - Your average daily balance
Rate - Annual interest rate (APR)
Time - Number of days in the billing cycle

For example, if you carry a balance of ₹50,000 for 30 days with an APR of 24%, your interest would be calculated as:

Interest = (50,000 × 24 × 30) / 100 = ₹36,000

This means you would pay ₹36,000 in interest over the billing period, bringing your total payment to ₹86,000.

Worked Example

Let's look at a practical example to illustrate how the calculator works.

Scenario

Current Balance: ₹75,000
Annual Interest Rate: 22%
Days to Pay: 45 days

Calculation

Using the simple interest formula:

Interest = (75,000 × 22 × 45) / 100 = ₹742,500

This means you would pay ₹742,500 in interest over the 45-day period, bringing your total payment to ₹827,500.

Note: This is a simplified example. Actual interest calculations may vary based on specific terms and conditions of your credit card agreement.
