How this calculator works
Credit card debt compounds monthly on your outstanding balance at a very high annual percentage rate. This calculator shows how long it will take to clear your balance — and how much interest you'll pay in total — at a fixed monthly payment amount you choose.
Worked example: a ₹1,00,000 balance at 42% APR, paid off at ₹8,000/month, takes about 17 months and costs roughly ₹34,000 in interest — more than a third of the original balance. Small increases in your monthly payment can cut both the payoff time and total interest dramatically, which you can see by adjusting the slider above.
