1. What is the Maybank Credit Card Payoff Calculator?

The Maybank Credit Card Payoff Calculator estimates how long it will take to pay off your credit card balance based on your current principal, monthly payment amount, and annual percentage rate (APR).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the credit card payoff formula:

\[ T = \frac{\log\left(\frac{P}{P - D \times R}\right)}{\log(1 + R)} \]

Where:

\( P \) — Principal balance (MYR)
\( D \) — Monthly payment amount (MYR)
\( R \) — Monthly interest rate (APR / 12)
\( T \) — Time to payoff in months

Explanation: The formula calculates how many months it will take to pay off the debt given fixed monthly payments and compound interest.

3. Importance of Payoff Calculation

Details: Understanding your payoff timeline helps with financial planning, debt management, and assessing the true cost of credit card debt.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current credit card balance, the fixed monthly payment you can afford, and your card's APR. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if my payment is less than the monthly interest?
A: The calculator will show an error because your balance will grow indefinitely if payments don't cover the interest.

Q2: Does this account for minimum payments?
A: No, it assumes fixed payments. Minimum payments typically extend payoff time significantly.

Q3: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides a good estimate but actual results may vary slightly due to billing cycles and rounding.

Q4: Can I use this for other banks' credit cards?
A: Yes, the formula works for any credit card as long as you have the correct APR.

Q5: How can I pay off my card faster?
A: Increase monthly payments, make bi-weekly payments, or transfer to a lower-interest card.
