Assumes you stop adding new charges and the rate does not change. Interest is charged monthly at APR divided by 12, and the minimum is 1% of the balance plus that month's interest, with a $25 floor. This is the same arithmetic used in our guide to how credit card interest works.

Put a real plan behind the number

Seeing the cost is the easy part. Forgenta connects your accounts, tracks the balance as it moves, and plans the payoff order across every card you hold, so the number above becomes a schedule instead of a one-off.
