How Minimum Payments Work

Minimum payments on credit cards are calculated based on your current balance and the interest rate charged by your card issuer. The minimum payment is typically a percentage of your balance, ensuring you pay at least a small amount each month to keep your account in good standing.

NatWest typically requires a minimum payment of 2% of your current balance. However, this can vary depending on your specific agreement with the bank. Our calculator uses this standard rate to provide an accurate estimate of your minimum payment.

For example, if your current balance is £1,000 and your interest rate is 18%, your minimum payment would be £18. This ensures you are meeting the minimum requirement while keeping your interest charges low.

Worked Example

Let's walk through a practical example to illustrate how the minimum payment calculator works.

Example Scenario

Suppose you have a NatWest credit card with a current balance of £1,500 and an interest rate of 16%. You want to find out what your minimum payment should be.

1. Enter £1,500 in the "Current Balance" field.
2. Enter 16 in the "Interest Rate" field.
3. Click "Calculate".

The calculator will display your minimum payment as £24. This means you should pay at least £24 each month to keep your account in good standing.
