About the Credit Card Calculator

Enter your credit card balance, APR, and the monthly payment you can make and the calculator shows how long it will take to clear the balance and the total interest you'll pay. Increase the payment to see the payoff time shrink — the clearest reason to pay more than the minimum.

Frequently asked questions

How long to pay off a credit card?

It depends on the balance, APR, and payment. This tool simulates the payoff month by month and shows the total time and interest.

Why pay more than the minimum?

Minimum payments barely cover interest, so the balance lingers for years. A higher fixed payment slashes both the time and the interest.
