1. What is the Credit Card Payoff Calculator?

This calculator estimates how long it will take to pay off your Maybank Indonesia credit card debt based on your current balance, monthly payment, and interest rate.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal balance (IDR)
• \( D \) — Monthly payment (IDR)
