How is minimum payment calculate lol for Chase Freedom?

Called they didn't know, said it would be on my statement wasn't there. Googled and did not really say, said 3% but that math doesn't add up, and the typical 1% of the balance plus interest doesn't match up either. Anybody know??

well, it is 1% of balance and all interest owed. keep in mind you pay interest on the previous month's statement balance and it's accounted for daily... so basic math algorithms won't yield 100% accurate results. that's why they make computers, coding, and algebra Smiley Wink

Re: How is minimum payment calculate lol for Chase Freedom?

Well, do you carry a balance and pay interest?

Or you pay in full each month?

 

What are the amounts you are trying to figure, on the latest statement:

Opening Balance

New Charges

Payments

Interest

Fees

Ending Balance.

Minimum Payment shown on this statement.

 

The minium dollar amount is $25 unless your balance is less than $25, in which case it is that actual balance.

If your statement balance is between $25 and $250, then the minimum payment is going to be $25, provided you aren't getting any interest costs.

If your statement balance is anything over $250, then the $25 would start to increase at a 1% rate, provided you aren't carrying any balances that incur interest charges.

It's on your cardmember agreement.  That stuff that comes with your card isn't just packing material.  Here's an online copy for the Signature:

How are you calculating the interest?  If you have a carried balance keep in mind that you don't have a grace period on new purchases.
