Min payment calculator?

Let's say you go to the store and charge $1,000.

 

But, you don't know how much the CC bill will be for.

 

Is there any calculation to this, like balance divided by 10 months, or etc?

 

I work at a store that has CC's and sometimes people want to know what their monthly payment will be.

Farm and Fleet $3,000 (AU) Paypal Extras MC $1,500
Barclay's Apple Visa $1,200 QVC Qcard $800
Amazon Store Card $600 Discover $500
Walmart MC $400 Victoria's Secret $350
Credit One $300 Fingerhut $200
TU Fico 626

i think most creditcards have a 25.00 minimum payment or 3% of the balance you can find all that info in the t&c of the creditcard

Chase sp 5k c---------------------------Care credit 4500 cl
Chase mileageplus explorer 5k ---Citi diamond p 2k
Chase mileageplus club 15k ------ Discover it 1.5k
Amex ed 5k -----------------------------Lowe's 10k-----Dinersclub mc 5k
Amex gold npsl plus a 35k cl--------BestBuy 2.1k--Kay's 5k
Sam's mc 4.5k --------------------------Jared 6k

Re: Min payment calculator?

You have to lookup the T&C.

 

DIfferent lenders calculate minimum payment differently.

Re: Min payment calculator?

The typical formula is the interest accrued during the statement period plus 1% of the balance.

Focusing on the minimum is a surefire way to end up in trouble.

Re: Min payment calculator?

Bankrate has some useful calculators:

Usually the payment is all of the interest plus 1% of the balance, but as the OP said check the T&C.

 

That said...

 

Minimum payments are EVIL!
