How the SABB Credit Card Calculator Works

The SABB Credit Card Calculator uses standard credit card interest calculation methods to provide accurate estimates. Here's how it works:

Interest Calculation Formula

The calculator uses the following formula to calculate daily interest:

Daily Interest = (Balance × APR) / 365

Where:

  • Balance is your current credit card balance
  • APR is the Annual Percentage Rate of your credit card

The calculator then applies this daily interest to your balance, subtracting any payments you make. This process continues until your balance reaches zero.

Note: This calculator provides estimates only. Actual results may vary based on your specific credit card terms and payment history.

Example Calculation

Let's look at an example to see how the SABB Credit Card Calculator works. Suppose you have a credit card balance of $1,500 with an APR of 18%, and you make minimum monthly payments of 2% of your balance.

Using the calculator:

  1. Enter $1,500 as your current balance.
  2. Enter 18 as your APR.
  3. Select "Percentage of Balance" for your minimum payment type and enter 2.
  4. Choose "Monthly" as your payment frequency.
  5. Click "Calculate".

The calculator will show you that it will take approximately 15 months to pay off your balance, with a total interest charge of $225. The chart will display your payment progress over time.
