Calculator

Balance transfer calculator

Estimate the monthly payment needed to clear a transferred balance and fee before your promotional period ends.

What this estimate assumes

No new purchases, no additional fees, a fixed APR and payments at the end of each month. Interest is approximated monthly using APR ÷ 12; an issuer’s daily calculations and payment timing can produce different results. This is a planning estimate.

The transfer fee is added to the starting balance. A minimum transfer fee is not included. Enter your actual offer terms; the defaults are illustrative. This tool calculates a payment target, not savings against your current card.

Your agreement matters

Check your card’s fee and interest disclosures before making a decision. Read the CFPB’s definitions of common card terms.
