What’s a Credit Card Payoff Calculator?
This tool estimates the time to pay off your credit card or the monthly payment needed to clear it in a set period, factoring in interest. Ideal for debt management in India and globally.
How Payoff Is Calculated
Formulas used:
Time to Pay Off (Months):
N = -log(1 - (Balance × r) ÷ Payment) ÷ log(1 + r)
Monthly Payment:
P = (Balance × r × (1 + r)^N) ÷ ((1 + r)^N - 1)
Where:
r = Monthly interest rate (Annual Rate ÷ 1200)
Total Interest:
Interest = (Payment × Months) - Balance
Our calculator simplifies these calculations!
