How much is your credit card really costing you?

Your monthly payment is only part of the story. Interest can mean you pay much more than your original balance. Use our free credit card repayment calculator to see how long repayment could take, how much interest you might pay and what paying extra could change.

How can I pay off my credit card faster?

The single biggest lever is your monthly repayment. Paying more each month can clear your balance sooner and cost you less in interest — the faster the balance falls, the less interest it has time to gather. Once you’ve entered your own numbers, the What If feature lets you try different monthly payments and see instantly what each one could change.

For example: £5,000 at 24.9% APR

Estimated figures using this calculator’s method — your own numbers will be different.

Paying £150 a month

Estimated time to clear
4 years 10 months
Estimated interest

£8,593.61

Paying £200 a month

Estimated time to clear
3 years
Estimated interest
£2,122.71
Estimated total repaid

Paying £200 instead of £150 a month could cut the interest by an estimated £1,470.90 and clear the balance about 1 year 10 months sooner.

Calculation assumptions

Your results are estimates. We calculate interest monthly using your APR divided by 12, assume your APR and monthly payment stay the same, and assume no new spending or fees. Interest is added before each monthly payment. Credit card providers may calculate interest daily, so your actual costs could differ.

Money is serious. We don’t have to be miserable about it.
