How 0% Interest Credit Cards Work

0% interest credit cards offer a promotional period where you won't be charged interest on purchases. This is typically offered for a limited time, often 12-24 months. During this period, you must pay off the entire balance before the promotional period ends to avoid interest charges.

Our calculator helps you determine the minimum monthly payment needed to pay off your balance within the promotional period. This ensures you avoid interest charges while still making manageable payments.

Worked Example

Let's say you have a $1,500 balance on your 0% interest credit card and you have 12 months to pay it off. Using our calculator:

1. Enter $1,500 as your current balance.
2. Select 12 months as your interest-free period.
3. Click "Calculate".

The calculator will show you that your minimum monthly payment should be $125. This means you need to pay $125 each month for 12 months to pay off your balance without interest.

If you make smaller payments, you'll need to pay more in the long run. For example, if you pay $100 each month, you'll need to make 16 payments to pay off the balance, which would cost you more in interest if you didn't finish by the 12-month mark.
