Estimate only. It assumes a fixed rate, no new charges, and payments made monthly. Card issuers may calculate interest differently and fees can change the result.

Use it well

Make the next move, not a perfect plan.

01

Use the statement rate

Enter the APR shown on the latest statement. Promotional, variable, and penalty rates can change.

02

Try an extra amount you can repeat

A smaller payment that fits an ordinary month is more useful than an ambitious number you will need to undo.

03

Protect the minimum first

Keep every required payment current. This tool is a scenario, not a substitute for your issuer's terms or payment warning.

Need a starting system?

Deciding between debt snowball and avalanche is a separate question.
