How Cash Advances Work

A cash advance is a loan from your credit card issuer that you can withdraw in cash. Unlike purchases, cash advances are typically charged at a higher interest rate and may have different fees.

Key Differences from Purchases

Higher interest rates (often 5-10% APR)
Different fee structures
No grace period for interest
May have different minimum payment requirements

Fees and Interest Rates

Cash advances typically have:

Transaction fees (often 3-5% of the advance amount)
Interest charged from the date of the advance
No grace period for interest accumulation

Total Cost = Advance Amount + (Advance Amount × Transaction Fee) + (Advance Amount × Interest Rate × Number of Days)

For example, a $500 advance with a 3% transaction fee and 10% APR for 30 days would cost approximately $525.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a $1,000 cash advance with these assumptions:

Transaction fee: 3%
Interest rate: 10% APR
Duration: 30 days

Total Cost = $1,000 + ($1,000 × 0.03) + ($1,000 × 0.10 × 30) Total Cost = $1,000 + $30 + $300 = $1,330

You would receive $1,000 but pay back $1,330 over 30 days.
