Formula Used
The Q Card Repayment Calculator uses the following formula to determine your repayment schedule:
Where:
- Current Balance = Your current Q Card debt amount
- Interest Rate = Monthly interest rate (Annual Rate / 12)
- Monthly Payment = Your regular monthly payment amount
Total Interest Paid = (Number of Months × Monthly Payment) - Current Balance
Worked Example
Let's say you have a Q Card balance of $5,000 with a 15% annual interest rate, and you plan to pay $200 per month.
- Monthly Interest Rate = 15% ÷ 12 = 1.25%
- Number of Months = -log(1 - (5000 × 0.0125 / 200)) / log(1 + 0.0125) ≈ 30.5 months
- Total Interest Paid = (30.5 × 200) - 5000 = $1,100
This means it would take approximately 30.5 months (2 years and 6 months) to pay off your $5,000 debt with monthly payments of $200, and you would pay $1,100 in interest.
