Formula Used
The calculator uses the following formula to estimate interest charges:
Interest = (Balance × APR × Days) / 365
Where:
- Balance = Current credit card balance
- APR = Annual Percentage Rate (as a decimal)
- Days = Number of days in the billing cycle
For minimum payment calculations, the calculator uses Maybank's standard minimum payment formula:
Minimum Payment = (Balance × Minimum Payment Rate) + Interest
Where Minimum Payment Rate is typically 2% of the balance.
Note: These are estimates based on standard formulas. Actual charges may vary based on your specific credit card agreement and Maybank's policies.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the interest charges for a Maybank credit card with the following details:
- Current Balance: $1,500
- APR: 18% (0.18 as a decimal)
- Billing Cycle: 30 days
Using the formula:
Interest = ($1,500 × 0.18 × 30) / 365
= ($810) / 365
= $2.22 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
So, the estimated interest charge for this billing cycle would be $2.22.
