How to Use This Calculator

To calculate your Union Bank credit card installment payments:

The calculator will display your monthly payment amount, total interest paid, and a chart showing your repayment progress over time.

How Credit Card Installments Work

When you choose to pay your credit card balance in installments, Union Bank typically offers a special promotional interest rate for the installment period. Here's how it works:

  1. Promotional Rate: You'll receive a lower interest rate for the installment period (often 0% for a limited time).
  2. Fixed Payments: Your monthly payment amount remains the same throughout the installment period.
  3. Interest Calculation: Interest is calculated daily on the remaining balance and added to your monthly payment.
  4. Early Payoff: If you pay off the balance before the installment period ends, you'll only pay interest on the portion of the balance that wasn't covered by the installment.

Note: Installment offers are promotional and may have specific terms and conditions. Always review the fine print on your credit card statement.

Monthly Payment Formula:

P = B × (r × (1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

Where:

  • P = Monthly payment
  • B = Current balance
  • r = Monthly interest rate (APR/12/100)
  • n = Number of installment months

Example Calculation

Let's say you have a $2,000 credit card balance and want to pay it off in 12 months with a 0% promotional rate.

1 $2,000.00 $166.67 $0.00 $1,833.33
2 $1,833.33 $166.67 $0.00 $1,666.66
3 $1,666.66 $166.67 $0.00 $1,500.00

11 $333.33 $166.67 $0.00 $166.66
12 $166.66 $166.67 $0.00 $0.00

In this example, you would pay $166.67 per month with no interest, paying off the balance exactly in 12 months.
