Credit Card Payoff Calculators determine credit card payment period


Credit Card Payoff Calculators enable you to figure out how long you'll take to pay off credit card bills under a fixed monthly payment plan. It is basically a type of credit card debt calculator that helps you get a credit card amortization schedule with the interest and principal amount payable on a monthly basis. In addition, this calculator (also known as Credit Card Payment Calculator) determines the total interest you need to pay on the balance.

Credit Card Payoff Calculator - How it works

The Credit Card Payoff Calculators (Credit Card Debt Calculator) assume that you're not using your card while paying off the balance. This type of credit card debt calculator does not include grace period in its calculation. Just like the Credit Card Debt Consolidation Calculator, this calculator also requires you to enter the principal balance, interest rate (or APR) and fixed monthly payment in order to work out the figures.


Credit Card Amortization

The Credit Card Amortization Calculators (Credit Debt Calculator) take into account the basics of amortization. Take a look at the example given below.


Emma used her credit card for a purchase worth $1000. The card details are:

  • APR (Annual Percentage Rate) or Interest rate = 24%
  • Fixed monthly payment = $100

Now, the card interest rates are mostly compounded on a monthly basis. So, the monthly interest rate here is = 24/12% = 2% (0.02)


The monthly interest (or finance charge) is added to the credit card bill each month.


First Month

Interest for the 1st month = $1000 x .02 = $20
Bill for 1st month = Principal + Interest = $1000 + $20 = $1020
Principal payment for 1st month = Fixed monthly payment - Interest = $100 - $20 = $80


The new balance (what Emma owes after the 1st month) = $1020 - $100 = $920


Second Month

Interest for 2nd month = New balance x .02 = $920 x .02 = $18.40
Bill for 2nd month = New balance + Interest = $920 + $18.40 = $938.40
Principal payment for 2nd month = $100 - $18.40 = $81.60


New balance after 2nd payment = $938.40 - $100 = $838.40


The calculation of the interest, principal payment and balance goes on till the outstanding balance is less than $100. At that time, Emma will just need to pay what she owes. This is how Credit Card Payment Calculator (or Credit Card Debt Calculator) works out a payment schedule.

Credit Card Debt Calculator variables

The variables associated with Credit Debt Calculator (Credit Card Interest Calculator) are defined as follows:

  • Card balance: It is the total outstanding debt (including principal and interest) that you'd like to pay off.
  • Interest rate or APR: This is the annual interest rate charged on the outstanding balance you keep on the card each month.
  • Monthly payment: This is the fixed amount you pay each month towards reducing your outstanding balance. It includes payment towards the principal balance and the interest.
  • Minimum payment: This is the minimum amount you're required to pay every month. You can use a Credit Card Minimum Payment Calculator to compute the minimum amount you have to spend from your wallet every month. Just like the Credit Card Debt Consolidation Calculator, you'll have to enter the current credit card balance, interest rate and fixed monthly payment in this calculator. You can get free Credit Card Minimum Payment Calculator from various websites.
  • Credit card amortization schedule: This is the credit card payment schedule for the entire payoff period. Amortization means reduction of debt by making equal monthly payments over a certain period of time. The amortization schedule shows how much you pay as interest and principal payment and what is the outstanding balance each month, till your card balance is zero.
