Calculator
Debt payoff calculator
Enter a balance, a rate and a fixed monthly payment to see the months to clear it and the effect of paying more.
The calculator solves for the number of months needed to amortise a balance at a fixed payment, then repeats the calculation with the extra payment added. If the payment does not cover the first month's interest the balance never clears, and the calculator says so instead of printing a number — that is the trap the minimum payment on a high-rate card sets.
