Now virginmoney are changing the minimum payments which will now be interest + 1% of outstanding balance, does anyone know how to enter this on the snowball calculator?

    are my calculations correct?

    orig balance £7673.34 + int £120.98 (1.5767% per month) = (a)£7794.32

    min payment 1% off original balance £76.73 + int £120.98 = (b)£197.71

    Calc (a)£7794.32 - (b) £197.71 = (c) £7596.61

    Next month would be

    orig balance (c) £7596.61 + int £119.77 = (a) £7716.38

    min payment 1% off original balance £75.97 + int 119.77 = (b) £195.74

    Calc (a) £7716.38 - (b) £195.74 = (c) £7520.64

    Does it look right? and is this how they will work it out?

    Cheers in advance
