Credit Card Minimum Due vs Full Payment Calculator — Expose the 42% APR Debt Trap

The 42% Annual Interest Debt Trap Explained

When you pay only the Minimum Amount Due (usually 5%) on your credit card bill:

• Banks charge exorbitant finance charges ranging from 3.5% to 3.75% per month (42% to 45% APR) from the exact date of each transaction.
• Your interest-free grace period is completely revoked on all future transactions.
• A small balance of Rs. 50,000 can take over 10 years to pay off, costing you more than Rs. 70,000 in interest alone!
