Understanding Your Credit Card Interest

Credit card interest can add up quickly, especially if you carry a balance from month to month. Here are some key points to consider:

• Interest rates vary by card and your creditworthiness
• Minimum payments typically only cover interest, not principal
• Paying more than the minimum can save you money in interest
• Balance transfer cards often have lower introductory rates

By using this calculator, you can better understand how your credit card usage affects your finances and make more informed decisions about your spending and repayment strategy.
