Credit card payoff calculator

This calculator estimates how long it may take to repay a credit card balance based on your APR, monthly payment, minimum payment settings, promotional rates and optional extra spending.

You can use it in three ways: calculate the payoff time from a fixed monthly payment, work out the payment needed to clear the balance within a target number of months, or compare minimum payments against a higher overpayment amount.

What this calculator includes

  • Fixed monthly payment mode
  • Target payoff timeframe mode
  • Minimum payment vs overpayment comparison
  • Optional promotional APR period
  • Optional ongoing monthly card spending
  • Optional one-off overpayment in a chosen month
  • Monthly repayment schedule

Important note

This tool provides an estimate only. Real credit card providers may calculate interest daily, use different statement dates and apply different minimum payment rules. Always check your card terms before making decisions.

This calculator provides general estimates only and does not constitute financial, tax, or legal advice.

Credit Card Payoff Calculator – FAQs

Does this calculator use APR?

Yes. You enter an annual percentage rate and the calculator converts it into a monthly estimate for repayment modelling.

Can I compare minimum payments to overpayments?

Yes. Use the comparison mode to see the difference in payoff time and total interest between minimum payments and a higher monthly payment.

Can I include a 0% promotional period?

Yes. You can add a promotional APR and choose how many months remain before the card reverts to its standard APR.

What if my payment is too low?

The calculator warns you if your planned payment is not high enough to reduce the balance after interest and any extra spending.
