Formula Used
The RHB Credit Card Calculator uses the following formulas to calculate your interest and payments:
Monthly Interest Charge
Monthly Interest = (Current Balance × APR) / 12
Minimum Payment Due
Minimum Payment = Current Balance × Minimum Payment Percentage (typically 2% of balance)
Total Repayment Amount
Total Repayment = Current Balance + (Monthly Interest × Number of Months)
These formulas provide an estimate of your credit card interest and payments. Actual amounts may vary based on your specific credit card agreement and payment history.
Worked Example
Let's calculate your credit card interest and payments with this example:
Example Scenario
- Current Balance: $1,500
- APR: 18%
- Repayment Period: Monthly
Using the formulas above:
Monthly Interest Charge
Monthly Interest = ($1,500 × 0.18) / 12 = $22.50
Minimum Payment Due
Minimum Payment = $1,500 × 0.02 = $30
Total Repayment Amount
Total Repayment = $1,500 + ($22.50 × 12) = $1,770
In this example, you would pay $22.50 in interest each month, a minimum payment of $30, and a total repayment amount of $1,770 over 12 months.
