Credit card calculator

Avoid becoming overwhelmed by credit card debt. Instead, use a credit card calculator to create a payback plan and track your contributions. It’ll help you figure out how much you need to pay each month, giving you a clear picture of what you owe and how far (or close) you are to becoming debt-free.

The credit card calculator is easy to use. First enter three numbers:

• The total amount owed on all your credit cards
• The average interest rate of all your credit cards
• The average amount of money you contribute to payments

If you already have a debt-free target date, it’s time to create a timeline. Enter the number of months you think it’ll take to pay off your balances, then the calculator will figure out how much you need to pay each month.
