Credit card debt grows quickly when repayments stay near minimum due. This page compares minimum-due payoff vs a fixed repayment plan so you can choose a practical monthly strategy before interest costs compound further.
For a ₹2.5 lakh balance at high APR, minimum due can stretch payoff over years with heavy interest. Increasing monthly payment to a fixed target shortens payoff horizon and reduces total interest. Use the side-by-side result cards to set an achievable but aggressive payment plan.
Month loop: add interest on opening balance, compute minimum due, apply either minimum due or selected fixed payment (whichever is higher in accelerated mode), then update closing balance. Repeat until payoff and track cumulative interest.
Minimum due often covers a large interest component and a small principal component, which extends payoff period and increases total interest.
Pick a sustainable amount above minimum due, keep it consistent, and increase it whenever income improves to reduce total borrowing cost.
No. Use it for planning and habit correction. Final repayment and billing values should be validated with official card statements.
