Flexi Pay is a unique payment option offered by SBI Credit Cards that allows you to pay your credit card bill in installments. This calculator helps you determine your monthly EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) for Flexi Pay, making it easier to manage your credit card payments.
What is Flexi Pay?
Flexi Pay is a payment plan offered by SBI Credit Cards that allows cardholders to pay their credit card bills in installments rather than in a single lump sum. This option is particularly useful for those who want to manage their credit card payments more conveniently or who need to pay a large outstanding amount in smaller, more manageable chunks.
The Flexi Pay option is available for both domestic and international transactions, and the installment period can be customized based on the cardholder's needs. The EMI amount is calculated based on the outstanding balance, the interest rate, and the chosen installment period.
How to Use This Calculator
Using the SBI Credit Card Flexi Pay EMI Calculator is straightforward. Follow these steps to get your EMI amount:
- Enter the total outstanding amount on your SBI Credit Card.
- Select the Flexi Pay tenure (the number of months you want to pay the EMI).
- Enter the applicable interest rate (this can be found on your credit card statement).
- Click the "Calculate" button to get your EMI amount.
The calculator will display your monthly EMI amount, the total interest payable, and the total amount payable over the Flexi Pay tenure.
How Flexi Pay Works
When you opt for Flexi Pay, your credit card issuer will calculate the EMI amount based on the outstanding balance, the interest rate, and the chosen tenure. The EMI amount is calculated using the formula for equated monthly installments, which takes into account the interest on the outstanding balance.
The EMI amount is fixed for the entire tenure, which means the interest component decreases as the principal amount is paid off each month. This makes Flexi Pay a convenient option for managing large credit card bills.
Example Calculation
Let's say you have an outstanding balance of ₹50,000 on your SBI Credit Card, and you want to pay it off in 12 months with a Flexi Pay option. The applicable interest rate is 15% per annum.
Using the calculator:
- Outstanding Amount: ₹50,000
- Flexi Pay Tenure: 12 months
- Interest Rate: 15% per annum
The calculator will show that your monthly EMI would be approximately ₹4,620. This includes both the principal and interest components. Over 12 months, you would pay a total of ₹55,440, with ₹5,440 going towards interest.
