Formula Used

The interest on your Kotak Credit Card is calculated using the following formula:

Interest = (Current Balance × APR) ÷ 100

Where:

Current Balance is the amount owed on your credit card
APR is the Annual Percentage Rate (expressed as a percentage)

This formula calculates the interest for one billing cycle. For multiple cycles, you would multiply the result by the number of cycles.

Worked Example

Let's say you have a Kotak Credit Card with a current balance of ₹50,000 and an APR of 24%. Here's how to calculate your interest:

Interest = (₹50,000 × 24) ÷ 100 Interest = ₹12,000

This means you would pay ₹12,000 in interest charges for the billing period.

Note: This is a simplified example. Actual interest calculations may vary based on your specific billing cycle and other factors.
