How Minimum Payments Work

Credit card minimum payments are calculated based on your current balance and the card's interest rate. The minimum payment is typically a percentage of your balance, but it cannot be less than a fixed minimum amount.

Minimum Payment Formula

Minimum Payment = Maximum(Minimum Fixed Amount, (Current Balance × Minimum Payment Percentage))

For UOB credit cards, the minimum payment percentage is usually 2% of your balance, with a minimum fixed amount of $20.

Important Note

Paying only the minimum amount will extend your debt and increase the total interest paid over time. Consider making larger payments to reduce your balance faster and save on interest.

Worked Example

Let's say you have a UOB credit card with a balance of $1,500 and an APR of 18%.

Calculate 2% of $1,500: $1,500 × 0.02 = $30
Compare with the minimum fixed amount of $20
The minimum payment is the larger of the two amounts, which is $30

Therefore, your minimum payment would be $30.
