Understanding Extra-Payment Payoff Math
How do credit card interest calculations work?
Credit cards compound interest daily based on your average daily balance. High APRs make credit card debt extremely expensive. Paying extra above the minimum payment is the key to escaping high-interest credit card debt.
What is the difference between minimum payments and extra payments?
Minimum payments are calculated as a tiny percentage of the balance (e.g. 2%). Paying only the minimum can keep you in debt for decades. Extra payments attack the balance directly, reducing the balance and total interest costs rapidly.
