    Pardon me?
  • The difference between 4-weekly and monthly is relatively small, but annoying as the payment will move around in the month. Unless the debt is going to take more than a year to pay off, just treat it the same as a monthly debt.

    If it'll last longer than a year, then for the purposes of the monthly calculators, increase the minimum payment by 1/13th (i.e. take your 4 weekly payment, divide by 12, multiply by 13) which will allow you to average out the cost of those months with 2 payments in the month (and do remember to actually save that 1/13th in an instant access account for when you need it to pay said repayment).
