Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard loan repayment formula to calculate your monthly payments:
Monthly Payment = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
Where:
- P = Credit card balance (principal)
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Number of payments (repayment term in months)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the credit card balance over the selected term, including interest.
Worked Example
Let's look at an example to understand how the calculator works. Suppose you have a Maybank credit card balance of RM5,000 with an annual interest rate of 18% and you want to repay it over 2 years (24 months).
- Enter RM5,000 as the credit card balance.
- Enter 18 as the annual interest rate.
- Select 24 months as the repayment term.
- Click "Calculate".
The calculator will show:
- Monthly Payment: Approximately RM243.50
- Total Repayment: Approximately RM5,844.00
- Total Interest: Approximately RM844.00
This means you'll pay about RM243.50 each month for 24 months, with a total repayment of RM5,844.00, including RM844.00 in interest charges.
