How Credit Card Repayments Work

Credit card repayments are calculated using the following formula:

Formula

Monthly Interest = (Current Balance × (APR ÷ 12 ÷ 100))

New Balance = Current Balance + Monthly Interest - Monthly Repayment

The calculator applies this formula iteratively each month until the balance reaches zero. It tracks:

  • The remaining balance each month
  • The interest charged each month
  • The total interest paid over the entire repayment period

Note

This calculator assumes you make the same monthly repayment amount each month. It does not account for minimum payments or promotional interest rates.

Worked Example

Let's say you have a £1,000 balance on your Virgin Money credit card with a 18% APR. You plan to repay £100 each month.

Using the calculator:

  1. Enter £1,000 as the current balance
  2. Enter 18 as the APR
  3. Enter £100 as the monthly repayment
  4. Click Calculate

The calculator will show that it will take 12 months to pay off the card, with a total interest charge of £120.
