Simple Credit Card Payoff Calculator [Updated]

This simple credit card payoff calculator will help you determine how quickly you can pay off your credit cards by paying extra each month!

Using The Credit Card Payoff Calculator

To use the calculator, use only one credit card at a time and follow these steps:

• Enter the current balance of one of your credit cards
• Enter the current interest rate on your card

The calculator will give you the approximate amount you are paying in interest each month when you do this.  To see how quickly you can pay off your credit card, there are two options:

• Enter the total monthly amount you can afford to put toward your credit card in the “Monthly Payment” box

or

• Enter how many months you want to give yourself to pay off your credit card. The calculator will tell you how much you need to pay each month on the credit card to make that happen!
