How the Interest Calculation Works
SBI credit cards typically charge interest on late payments using a daily interest rate calculation. The formula used is:
The daily interest rate is calculated by dividing the annual percentage rate (APR) by 365 (the number of days in a year).
Note: Some credit cards may use a different calculation method or charge additional fees for late payments. This calculator provides an estimate based on standard practices.
Worked Example
Let's say you have a balance of ₹50,000 on your SBI credit card with an APR of 24%. You make a payment 10 days after the due date.
- Daily interest rate = 24% ÷ 365 = 0.06575% (0.0006575 in decimal)
- Late interest = ₹50,000 × 0.0006575 × 10 = ₹32.88
In this example, you would pay approximately ₹32.88 in additional interest for the late payment.
