  3. Specify the minimum payment percentage or fixed amount.

Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to calculate interest charges:

Daily Balance × Daily Interest Rate = Daily Interest

Where:

  • Daily Balance = Current balance at the end of each day
  • Daily Interest Rate = APR ÷ 365

This daily calculation is then summed to determine the total interest for the period.

For minimum payments, the calculator uses the specified percentage or fixed amount, applying it to the current balance each month.

Worked Example

Let's calculate interest charges for a $2,000 balance with a 19.99% APR over 6 months:

Month Starting Balance Interest Minimum Payment Ending Balance
1 $2,000.00 $30.58 $100.00 $2,030.58
2 $2,030.58 $30.84 $100.00 $2,061.42
3 $2,061.42 $31.10 $100.00 $2,092.52
4 $2,092.52 $31.36 $100.00 $2,123.88
5 $2,123.88 $31.62 $100.00 $2,155.50
6 $2,155.50 $31.88 $100.00 $2,187.38

Total interest paid: $223.38

Ending balance: $2,187.38

Understanding Interest Charges

Interest charges on credit cards are calculated daily based on your average daily balance. Here's what affects your interest:

  • Your credit card's APR (annual percentage rate)
  • The number of days in the billing cycle
  • Your payment history and credit score
  • Whether you pay the minimum or more

TD Bank credit cards typically offer promotional APRs for the first 12-18 months, after which the standard APR applies.

Minimum Payment Strategies

Paying only the minimum can lead to high interest costs. Consider these strategies:

  1. Pay more than the minimum each month to reduce interest
  2. Use the "balance transfer" feature if available
  3. Consider a "debt snowball" or "debt avalanche" approach
  4. Set up automatic payments for consistency

Our calculator shows how much you can save by paying more than the minimum each month.
