Formula Used

The interest on your Maybank credit card is calculated using the following formula:

Interest = (Current Balance × Interest Rate × Days in Billing Cycle) / 365

Where:

Current Balance is the amount owed on your credit card.
Interest Rate is the annual percentage rate (APR) charged by Maybank.
Days in Billing Cycle is the number of days between billing statements.

This formula provides an estimate of the interest you'll accrue during the billing cycle. The actual interest may vary based on your specific payment history and Maybank's billing practices.

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to illustrate how the calculator works. Suppose you have a Maybank credit card with the following details:

Current Balance: RM 5,000
Interest Rate: 22% APR
Billing Cycle: 30 days

Using the formula:

Interest = (5,000 × 0.22 × 30) / 365

Interest = (3,300) / 365

Interest ≈ RM 9.04

In this example, the estimated interest charge for the billing cycle is approximately RM 9.04. This is a rough estimate, and your actual interest may vary based on your payment history and Maybank's billing practices.
