How Credit Card Interest Works

Credit card interest is calculated based on the average daily balance on your account and the card's annual percentage rate (APR). Here's how it works:

Daily Balance Method

Most credit cards use the daily balance method to calculate interest. This means:

1. The bank calculates your average daily balance for each billing cycle.
2. They apply the daily interest rate (APR divided by 365) to this average balance.
3. The interest is added to your account at the end of each billing cycle.

Interest Charges

Your interest charges will appear on your next statement as a separate line item. They're typically calculated and added to your account at the end of each billing cycle.
