Credit Card Payoff Calculator
See the real cost of carrying a credit card balance and how long it will take to clear. Enter your current balance, the card annual percentage rate, and the fixed amount you plan to pay each month, and the calculator steps through the balance month by month to show the payoff time, the debt-free date and the total interest you will hand over along the way. It also warns you if your payment is too low to ever cover the monthly interest, which is the trap that keeps card balances alive for years. Because it works out the exact schedule, you can nudge the monthly payment up and instantly see how many months and how much interest you save, which is usually eye-opening. All calculations run locally in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
How does it work out payoff time?
It applies your card interest each month, subtracts your fixed payment, and counts the months until the balance reaches zero.
How much does a bigger payment save?
It shows how paying more each month cuts both the payoff time and the total interest, since less time in debt means less interest.
What if I only pay the minimum?
Minimum payments barely cover interest, so payoff takes far longer and interest costs balloon. The tool makes that cost visible.
