Question about interest

so i have been on the rebuild!

 

I have a $300 limit card i recently got.

 

Due Date is July 5.

 

I paid balance weeks ago. 

 

I believe statement date is the 9th.

 

Will I get charged interest on the 9th for my current balance?

 

How does this work exactly?

Re: Question about interest

when a balance cuts, if you pay it in full before your due date no interest will be charged. as long as you keep doing this, you'll be fine.
Only problem would be if it's a subprime lender; some charge interest as soon as a charge posts

If you paid your balance to $0 then there should be no intereset.  You will get a new statement for the new amount that will be due in August and you should pay that in full.
