Understanding the Credit Card Payment Formula

Our Credit Card Payment Calculator uses the following formula to calculate your monthly payments:

$$ PMT = \frac{B \times r}{1 – (1 + r)^{-n}} $$

Where:

• PMT: Monthly payment
• B: Credit card balance (total amount owed)
• r: Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
• n: Total number of payments (number of months)
