Formula Explained

The RHB Credit Card Interest Rate Calculator uses the following formula to calculate your monthly interest charges:

Monthly Interest Charge

Monthly Interest = (Current Balance × (Annual Interest Rate ÷ 12)) ÷ 100

Where:

  • Current Balance is your outstanding credit card balance
  • Annual Interest Rate is your credit card's interest rate expressed as a percentage

The calculator also calculates your minimum payment amount based on the percentage you specify and determines how many months it will take to pay off your balance if you make only the minimum payments.

Worked Example

Let's say you have a credit card balance of $2,000 with an annual interest rate of 18%. If you make only the minimum payments of 2% of your balance each month:

  1. Monthly Interest = ($2,000 × (18 ÷ 12)) ÷ 100 = $30
  2. Minimum Payment = $2,000 × 2% = $40
  3. Total Payment = $30 (interest) + $40 (minimum payment) = $70
  4. New Balance = $2,000 - $40 + $30 = $1,990

This process repeats each month until the balance is paid off. The calculator will show you the complete payoff timeline based on these calculations.
