Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formulas to estimate your credit card payments and interest:

Monthly Payment Calculation

For minimum payments: Monthly Payment = (Balance × Daily Interest Rate) / 30

For full balance payments: Monthly Payment = Balance / Term

Total Interest Calculation

Total Interest = (Monthly Payment × Term) - Balance

Rewards Calculation

Rewards = (Spending × Reward Rate) / 12

Where:

Balance = Your current credit card balance
Daily Interest Rate = Annual interest rate divided by 365
Term = Number of months until balance is paid off
Reward Rate = Percentage of spending that earns rewards

Worked Example

Let's calculate the estimated payments and interest for a $2,000 balance on a TD Canada Trust card with a 19.99% annual interest rate, assuming you pay the minimum monthly payment for 12 months.

Given:

Balance = $2,000
Annual Interest Rate = 19.99%
Daily Interest Rate = 19.99% / 365 ≈ 0.0547%
Term = 12 months

Using the minimum payment formula:

Monthly Payment = ($2,000 × 0.0547) / 30 ≈ $3.65

Total interest paid over 12 months:

Total Interest = ($3.65 × 12) - $2,000 = $43.80 - $2,000 = $2,043.80

This means you would pay approximately $43.80 in interest over the 12-month period, bringing your total repayment to $2,043.80.
