Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to calculate interest charges:

Interest = (Current Balance × APR × Months) / 12

Where:

Current Balance - Your outstanding credit card balance
APR - Annual Percentage Rate (expressed as a decimal)
Months - Number of months you plan to keep the balance

The monthly payment is calculated by dividing the total interest by the number of months.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example to understand how the calculator works:

Suppose you have a balance of £1,500 on your TSB credit card with an APR of 20.9% and you plan to pay it off in 12 months.

Interest = (1500 × 0.209 × 12) / 12 = £313.50

Monthly Payment = £313.50 / 12 = £26.13

This means you would pay £26.13 per month to clear your balance, with a total interest charge of £313.50 over the 12 months.
