Formula Used
The Standard Chartered Credit Card Calculator uses the following formula to calculate the total interest paid:
Total Interest = (Current Balance × APR × Number of Months) / 1200
Where:
- Current Balance is your outstanding credit card balance.
- APR is the annual percentage rate for your credit card.
- Number of Months is the period over which you plan to pay off your balance.
The minimum monthly payment is calculated as 2% of your current balance, which is the standard minimum payment requirement for many credit cards.
The total amount paid is the sum of your current balance and the total interest calculated.
Worked Example
Let's say you have a credit card balance of $5,000 with an APR of 18% and you plan to pay it off over 12 months. Here's how the calculation works:
Total Interest = ($5,000 × 18% × 12) / 1200 = $900
Minimum Monthly Payment = 2% of $5,000 = $100
Total Amount Paid = $5,000 + $900 = $5,900
In this example, you would pay a total of $5,900 over 12 months, with $900 going towards interest and $100 as the minimum monthly payment.
