How Vredit Card Payments Work
Vredit card payments are calculated using the formula for the monthly payment of a loan with compound interest. The formula used is:
The calculator computes your monthly payment by applying the interest rate to the remaining balance each month. The total interest paid is the difference between the total repayment amount and the original balance.
Key Terms
- Current Balance: The amount owed on your Vredit card.
- APR: Annual Percentage Rate, the annual interest rate charged by your Vredit card.
- Term: The duration of your payment plan in months.
- Monthly Payment: The amount you need to pay each month to clear your balance.
- Total Interest: The total interest paid over the term of your payment plan.
- Total Repayment: The sum of your monthly payments plus the total interest.
Example Calculation
Let's say you have a Vredit card balance of $2,000 with an APR of 18% and you want to pay it off in 12 months. Here's how the calculation works:
- Convert the APR to a monthly rate: 18% ÷ 12 = 1.5% or 0.015
- Use the formula:
Monthly Payment = $2,000 × (0.015(1 + 0.015)^12) / ((1 + 0.015)^12 - 1)
- Calculate the monthly payment: $2,000 × (0.015 × 1.015^12) / (1.015^12 - 1) ≈ $177.60
- Total interest paid: $177.60 × 12 - $2,000 = $132.80
- Total repayment amount: $2,000 + $132.80 = $2,132.80
In this example, your monthly payment would be approximately $177.60, with a total interest of $132.80 and a total repayment of $2,132.80.
