How Interest-Free Credit Cards Work

Interest-free credit cards offer a promotional period where you won't be charged interest on purchases. This is typically 30-60 days from the date of purchase. Here's how it works:

1. You make purchases with your credit card during the interest-free period.
2. You must pay the full balance within the interest-free period to avoid interest charges.
3. If you don't pay the full balance within the period, any remaining amount will accrue interest.
4. Some cards offer interest-free balance transfers with a similar time limit.

Worked Example

Let's say you have a $1,500 balance on your credit card with a 60-day interest-free period. You want to pay it off in 5 equal monthly payments.

The calculator would show:

• Monthly payment amount: $300
• Total amount paid: $1,500
• Payment schedule:
  • Payment 1: Due in 12 days - $300
  • Payment 2: Due in 24 days - $300
  • Payment 3: Due in 36 days - $300
  • Payment 4: Due in 48 days - $300
  • Payment 5: Due in 60 days - $300

This keeps your balance interest-free while allowing you to pay it off gradually.
