Balance Burn Down

How We Calculate This

This calculator simulates paying your credit card off using accurate monthly amortization, which mirrors exactly how your bank calculates your interest charges.

Monthly Interest FormulaCharge = Balance × (APR ÷ 12)
New Balance FormulaNew Bal = (Old Bal + Interest Charge) - Your Payment

Note: If you use the "I Know My Payment" mode, and your payment is less than the Monthly Interest Charge, the calculator will warn you that your balance is growing infinitely.
