What this calculator estimates
Estimate payoff time and savings from a credit card balance-transfer offer. It is designed for fast planning and comparison in the United States. The output is an estimate, not a binding quote, approval, tax determination, insurance offer or professional recommendation.
How to use it
Enter the requested values using a single consistent time period and currency. Select Calculate, review the headline result and supporting figures, then change one assumption at a time to compare another scenario.
How the calculation works
The calculator simulates each month. It adds the transfer fee to the new balance, applies the promotional APR for the selected period, then switches to the post-promotion APR.
Important limitations
Offers may exclude certain balances, require minimum payments, use deferred-interest terms or change the APR after late payments.
