How Tesco Credit Card Interest Works

Tesco credit cards typically charge interest on purchases and balance transfers. The interest is calculated daily on the outstanding balance and is compounded monthly. The formula for calculating the interest is:

For example, if you have a balance of £1,000 and an APR of 18.9%, your daily interest rate would be 0.00517% (18.9% ÷ 365). If you carry this balance for 30 days, your interest charge would be:

This interest is added to your balance each month, increasing the amount you owe over time.

Example Calculation

Let's say you have a Tesco credit card balance of £1,500 with an APR of 18.9%. You plan to pay £100 each month. Here's how the calculator would work:

1. Enter £1,500 as the current balance.
2. Enter 18.9 as the interest rate.
3. Enter £100 as the monthly payment.
4. Click "Calculate".

The calculator would show that it would take 15 months to pay off the balance, with a total interest charge of £125.50.
