See how much money you can save by putting in different rates...

Enter your information here:

Years: Interest (APR): Loan Amount:
i.e. how quickly you want to pay off your credit card debt

Amount you owe

Results:

Monthly Payment
This is how much you are going to have to pay (of course without charging more) to reduce your balance to ZERO

Real World Exercise:  Lets say you owe 1,200 and you have a non UCMS credit card with a high interest rate of 17.0%.  Lets say you want to be debt free in two years.  The calculator tells you that you need to budget about $60 bucks to pay off your loan.

The picture gets bad in a hurry if you owe 6,000 at 17% and three years because then your result is a whopping $213.91.

Your goal should be to never OWE more than three times what you can pay off in three months (0.25 years).  0.25 years, 17% interest and x for your loan amount give you the amount that you need to pay per month. Remember that money is a horrible master but a wonderful servant.
