in Credit cards
Is there an interest calculator on the site...couldn't see it.
Can anyone help with giving me an idea of how long it will take to pay off a credit card? I can work it out on a fixed rate but want to calculate it more accurately with the decreasing interest payments.
Current balance £11487
Regular payment £350
Purchaces 1.385%pm
Cash 1.805%pm
Not sure how much is cash purchases but the charges last month were
Purchaces £140.58
Cash £27.80.
Can anyone make sense of this and give me an idea of how long it will take to clear the full balance?
Thanks

On a debt of just over £11,000 paying each month £350 and taking the highest monthly purchase rate of 1.805%, then it should take about 4 1/2 years and cost about £6000 in interest.0
