Frequently Asked Questions
The minimum payment is typically the greater of a percentage of your balance (e.g., 2%) or a fixed dollar amount (e.g., $25). Our calculator uses these inputs to compute the exact minimum due.
Interest charge is calculated as: Balance × (Annual Interest Rate / 12 / 100). This gives the monthly interest based on your current balance.
If the minimum payment is less than the interest charge, your balance will grow over time and you will never pay off the debt. The calculator will warn you in such cases.
