Calculates how long it will take to pay off credit card debt with a fixed monthly payment, showing total interest paid and declining balance over time. Helps users manage their debt by providing insights into how their credit card payments impact their balance and financial health. Ideal for anyone looking to plan their debt repayment strategy or understand the costs associated with carrying high-interest credit card balances.
Compares two financial scenarios to illustrate the long-term impact of different credit card payment strategies. Users input key figures, such as the outstanding balance, interest rates, and various payment amounts, allowing the tool to model how quickly debt is paid off under both minimum payment requirements and a fixed, higher repayment schedule. The calculator estimates total charged interest and tracks the remaining principal balance over time for each scenario, providing a clear side-by-side comparison of potential financial outcomes. Individuals managing credit card debt or planning their budgeting are primary users of this tool. It helps users visualize the substantial difference that making only the minimum payment makes to overall debt accumulation compared to paying an accelerated amount.
