Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the minimum payment by taking a percentage of the outstanding balance and adding the monthly interest charges.
Details: Understanding your minimum payment helps avoid late fees, maintain good credit standing, and plan your monthly budget effectively. Paying only the minimum extends repayment time and increases total interest paid.
Tips: Enter your current credit card balance in ZAR, the minimum payment percentage (typically 3-5% as decimal), and the monthly interest amount. All values must be non-negative.
Q1: What is the typical minimum payment percentage for FNB credit cards?
A: FNB typically requires a minimum payment of 3-5% of the outstanding balance, but this may vary based on your specific card agreement.
Q2: How is monthly interest calculated?
A: Monthly interest is calculated based on your annual interest rate divided by 12, applied to your average daily balance.
Q3: What happens if I pay only the minimum amount?
A: While it avoids penalties, paying only the minimum extends your repayment period significantly and increases total interest costs.
Q4: Can I pay more than the minimum payment?
A: Yes, paying more than the minimum reduces your balance faster, saves on interest, and helps you become debt-free sooner.
Q5: Where can I find my credit card terms?
A: Your specific minimum payment percentage and interest rates are detailed in your credit card agreement and monthly statements.
