Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online credit card payoff calculator.
Enter the balance, the annual rate and your monthly payment, and the tool counts the months
until the balance reaches zero.
Most of a small payment goes on interest, so only a little reduces the balance, and the debt
shrinks very slowly.
The balance grows instead of falling, and the tool warns you that the payment does not even
cover the monthly interest.
The tool charges interest on the balance each month, applies your payment, and adds up the
interest across every month.
No. It uses the fixed payment you type, which is usually far higher than a minimum payment
and clears the debt sooner.
It makes a large difference, because a bigger payment cuts both the balance and the interest
charged on it in later months.
Yes. The tool divides the annual percentage rate by twelve to get the monthly rate used for
each month of the schedule.
It starts from the current balance you enter, with no new purchases, fees or cash advances
added afterwards.
No. Everything is calculated locally in your browser and nothing you type is sent to a
server.
Yes. It is completely free, needs no account and has no limit on how many times you use it.
