About This Calculator
A balance transfer allows you to move credit card debt from one card to another, usually to take advantage of a lower interest rate. It can help reduce interest costs and allow more of the payment to go toward reducing the balance.
Some cards provide a 0% introductory APR for a limited period. A balance transfer fee may apply, and you should consider both the fee and the interest rate that applies after the introductory period.
The calculator uses:
Current Credit Card Details
- Current Balance
- Current Interest Rate
- Current Monthly Payment
New Balance Transfer Card Details
- 0% Intro APR Length
- APR After Intro
- Balance Transfer Fee
The calculator compares both repayment scenarios to estimate payoff period, interest and fees, and potential savings.
