How this calculator works

Each month interest is added to the balance at one twelfth of the APR, then your payment is subtracted. The calculator repeats until the balance is zero. Your payment must be larger than the monthly interest or the balance never shrinks.

Frequently asked questions

How can I pay off debt faster?

Pay more than the minimum, and put extra money toward the highest-interest balance first.

Does this work for credit cards?

Yes, if you stop adding new charges. Real cards may change rates and minimums over time.
