How This Balance Transfer Calculator Works
Enter your current credit card balances, minimum payments, and interest rates. Then add the balance transfer offer details, including the transfer fee, introductory APR, introductory period, standard APR, and your monthly payment budget. The calculator estimates how long it may take to pay off the debt, how much interest may be charged, and whether the transfer could reduce your total cost.
