Calculation assumptions

Interest is estimated using monthly compounding and a fixed monthly payment. The calculator assumes no new purchases, cash advances, missed payments or promotional-rate penalties. Actual card issuers may calculate interest differently and may impose minimum-payment rules.

Frequently asked questions
What is a balance transfer fee?

A balance transfer fee is usually charged as a percentage of the amount moved to the new card and is often added to the transferred balance.

What happens when the promotional period ends?

Any remaining balance may begin accruing interest at the standard post-promotion APR entered in the calculator.

Does a balance transfer always save money?

No. Savings depend on the fee, promotional APR, repayment speed and the interest rate on your current card.
