Formula Used
The calculator uses the following formula to determine the minimum monthly payment:
Where:
- Current Balance = Your current credit card balance
- APR = Annual Percentage Rate (expressed as a decimal)
- Number of Payments = Total number of payments in the payment period
For bi-weekly payments, the number of payments is calculated as (Payment Period × 2) ÷ 12.
Worked Example
Let's say you have a current balance of $3,000 and an APR of 18%. If you choose a 12-month payment plan:
- Convert the APR to a decimal: 18% = 0.18
- Calculate the monthly interest rate: 0.18 ÷ 12 = 0.015
- Calculate the number of payments: 12
- Plug the values into the formula:
Minimum Monthly Payment = ($3,000 × 0.015) ÷ (1 - (1 + 0.015)^(-12)) Minimum Monthly Payment = $45 ÷ (1 - 0.917) = $45 ÷ 0.083 ≈ $541.67
Your minimum monthly payment would be approximately $541.67.
Note: This is an estimate. Your actual payment may vary based on your specific credit card terms and any additional fees.
