Understanding credit card debt amortization
Credit cards utilize compound interest computed daily or monthly based on the Annual Percentage Rate (APR). Paying only the minimum balance keeps you in debt for years because the payment is indexed to a percentage of the decreasing total, prolonging interest accruals.
By adding a regular extra monthly contribution or targeting a fixed month count, you accelerate principal reduction, which yields huge long-term savings in overall interest costs.
