Calculate Credit Card Interest
This simplified estimate converts an annual percentage rate to a monthly rate. Actual issuers may calculate interest daily.
Formula: Monthly interest β Balance Γ APR Γ· 12
Keep the interest rate, payment frequency and time period consistent. Fees, compounding rules, taxes and lender or issuer conventions can change a real-world result, so use the calculator as a calculation aid rather than a contract quote.
Recalculate the result from the displayed formula and confirm that rate, term, compounding and monetary amounts use the same time basis.
