Understanding Credit Card Debt
Credit card debt can be expensive due to high interest rates, and making only minimum payments can extend your payoff period for years or even decades. Understanding how your payments affect your debt timeline is crucial for effective financial planning.
Payoff Strategies
- • Pay more than minimum to reduce interest
- • Use debt snowball or avalanche methods
- • Consider balance transfer cards
- • Stop using the card while paying off
Interest Impact
- • Compound interest increases debt over time
- • Higher rates mean slower principal reduction
- • Early payments save significant interest
- • Minimum payments mostly cover interest
This calculator provides estimates based on the information you provide. Actual payoff times may vary based on changes in interest rates, additional charges, or payment adjustments. Always check your credit card statement for the most accurate information about your account.
