Why does it take so long to pay off a balance with minimum payments?

Minimum payments are a small percentage of your balance, so most of each payment goes toward interest rather than the principal. The balance shrinks very slowly, stretching repayment over many years.

Where does the interest rate in the calculator come from?

You enter your own card's monthly rate, which you can find on your statement. Using your actual rate gives the most accurate result.

Are the results exact?

The calculations are mathematically accurate based on the inputs you provide. However, individual banks may apply rounding or fees differently. This tool does not replace professional financial advice.

How much can I save by paying more than the minimum?

Even a modest increase in your monthly payment can dramatically reduce total interest and cut years off your repayment timeline. The comparison tool shows you the exact savings.

Can I calculate multiple cards at once?

Currently each card is calculated separately. A multi-card aggregation feature is on the roadmap.

Is my data stored or shared?

No. All calculations happen locally in your browser. No data is sent to or stored on our servers.

What is the minimum payment percentage typically set at?

Most card issuers set it between two and five percent of the outstanding balance, with a fixed minimum floor (often a small flat amount). Check your card agreement for the exact figure.

💡 Good to know

Minimum payment rate: Per BRSA rules — 30% if the balance is ≤ ₺50,000, 35% above that (current for 2026).
Contractual interest: BRSA caps this at roughly 4.66% monthly (~56% annually). Banks cannot exceed it.
Contractual + late interest: Applies to whatever you don't pay off. It keeps compounding.
Strategy: Pay in full instead of the minimum and you owe no interest. Paying only the minimum is how the debt "trap" forms.

⚠️ These rates reflect current 2026 BRSA regulation and may change periodically — check bddk.org.tr for the latest caps.
