Common questions
Does paying only the minimum clear credit card debt?
Usually very slowly. Most of an early minimum payment goes to interest, so the balance barely moves. A higher fixed payment shortens the timeline.
How is the free date calculated?
We simulate month by month: interest accrues on the balance, then your payment reduces it, until the balance clears or interest traps you forever.
Why do rates differ by country?
Typical card APRs vary by market. We suggest common examples you can edit. Always use your statement rate for a personal estimate.
