Calculate

Use the purchase APR shown on your statement.

For example, 24 months = debt-free in two years.

Minimum payment formula

Used for the “minimum payments only” comparison: the greater of the floor or this percentage of the balance plus the month’s interest. Your cardholder agreement lists your card’s exact formula.

Estimates charge interest at APR ÷ 12 each month and assume no new purchases, fees or rate changes. Card issuers usually apply a daily rate (APR ÷ 365 or 360) to your average daily balance, so actual interest can run slightly higher. Minimum payment: the greater of $25 or 1% of the balance plus that month’s interest.
