How Lredit Card Payments Work

Lredit card payments are calculated based on your current balance, interest rate, and minimum payment percentage. The calculator uses the following formula to determine your monthly payment:

Formula

Monthly Payment = (Current Balance × (Interest Rate / 12)) + (Current Balance × (Minimum Payment % / 100))

The calculator then projects your payment schedule, showing how much interest you'll pay each month and how long it will take to pay off your balance. The total interest paid is calculated by summing the interest charges for each month until the balance is paid off.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you have a lredit card balance of $5,000, an interest rate of 18% APR, and a minimum payment of 2% of your balance.

  1. Current Balance: $5,000
  2. Interest Rate: 18%
  3. Minimum Payment %: 2%

Using the formula:

Calculation

Monthly Payment = ($5,000 × (0.18 / 12)) + ($5,000 × 0.02) = $150 + $100 = $250

This means you'll pay $250 each month, with $150 going toward interest and $100 reducing your principal balance. The calculator will show you the complete payment schedule and total interest paid over time.
