Escape expensive credit card debt faster
Compare lower interest options before more interest builds up.
How credit card interest is calculated
This calculator uses a monthly compounding model. Interest is added to the balance each month, then your payment reduces the debt. If your payment does not beat the interest, the card can become a debt trap.
Why minimum payments can keep debt expensive
Minimum payments may feel affordable, but they often reduce the balance slowly. Increasing your monthly payment can shorten the payoff time and reduce the total interest you pay.
