About this tool
Method, assumptions, practical next steps, and limits.
Fixed payments reveal the cost
Minimum payments usually shrink with the balance, which can extend payoff. A fixed payment gives the debt a clearer end date.
Calculation method
The tool compounds interest monthly and assumes no new charges or fees. Card issuers commonly use daily average balances, so statements will differ.
Protect the plan
Keep at least the required minimum on automatic payment, then direct the planned extra amount before new spending can absorb it.
