1. What is the Credit Card Monthly Repayment Calculator?

This calculator helps you determine the fixed monthly payment needed to pay off your credit card debt used for mortgage payments within a specific timeframe, considering your interest rate.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

\[ D = \frac{P \times R}{1 - (1 + R)^{-N}} \]

Where:

$ D $ — Monthly payment ($)
$ P $ — Principal balance ($)
$ R $ — Monthly interest rate (APR/12 as decimal)
$ N $ — Payoff time in months

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment needed each month to completely pay off the debt in the specified time period, accounting for compound interest.
