Credit Card Payoff Calculator
See how long a card balance takes to clear.
Escape the minimum-payment trap
Paying only the minimum stretches a balance for years because most of it goes to interest. This shows how many months a fixed payment takes to clear a balance at a given APR, and the total interest that costs.
The lesson is stark: paying a little more than the minimum can cut years and hundreds in interest, because every extra dollar attacks principal instead of feeding the balance.
