Formula Used

The SBI Card Interest Calculator uses the following formula to calculate interest charges:

Interest Calculation Formula

Daily Interest Rate = APR / 365

Total Interest = Card Balance × Daily Interest Rate × Statement Period

Minimum Payment = Total Interest + (Card Balance × 0.01)

Where:

  • APR is the annual percentage rate expressed as a decimal (e.g., 20% becomes 0.20)
  • Statement Period is the number of days between billing cycles (typically 30 days)

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to demonstrate how the calculator works. Suppose you have an SBI credit card with:

  • Card Balance: ₹50,000
  • APR: 24%
  • Statement Period: 30 days

Using the formula:

  1. Daily Interest Rate = 0.24 / 365 ≈ 0.0006575 (0.06575%)
  2. Total Interest = ₹50,000 × 0.0006575 × 30 ≈ ₹11.925
  3. Minimum Payment = ₹11.925 + (₹50,000 × 0.01) = ₹11.925 + ₹500 = ₹511.925

So, you would owe approximately ₹11.93 in interest charges and should pay at least ₹511.93 to avoid additional interest.
