When to Use This Calculator

This calculator is useful for anyone looking to:

Visualize their repayment schedule

The Formula Behind the Calculation

The calculator uses the standard loan amortization formula to calculate your monthly payments. The formula is:

Monthly Payment = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

Where:

P = Principal amount (your credit card balance)
r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
n = Number of payments (repayment period in months)

This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the credit card balance over the specified period, taking into account the interest charges.

Additional Calculations

The calculator also performs the following calculations:

Total interest paid = (Monthly Payment × n) - P
Total amount repaid = Monthly Payment × n

Worked Example

Let's look at an example to understand how the calculator works. Suppose you have a credit card balance of $5,000, an annual interest rate of 18%, and you want to pay it off in 36 months.

Step 1: Input the Values

Balance: $5,000
Annual Interest Rate: 18%
Repayment Period: 36 months

Step 2: Calculate the Monthly Payment

Using the formula:

r = 18% / 12 = 0.015 (1.5% monthly)

n = 36

Monthly Payment = 5000 × (0.015(1 + 0.015)^36) / ((1 + 0.015)^36 - 1)

Monthly Payment ≈ $162.87

Step 3: Calculate Total Interest Paid

Total interest paid = (162.87 × 36) - 5000 ≈ $1,261.32

Step 4: Calculate Total Amount Repaid

Total amount repaid = 162.87 × 36 ≈ $5,781.32

Summary

Metric	Value
Monthly Payment	$162.87
Total Interest Paid	$1,261.32
Total Amount Repaid	$5,781.32
