Credit Card Principle vs. Interest

With this calculator you can figure out how much of your next credit card payment will go toward interest, and what will go toward your principle balance. Notice that if you make a higher payment, more of your payment will go toward the principle and less to interest. AND, a higher payment will reduce your total interest charges and number of payments. You should aim to make payments as high as possible to avoid the excessive interest charges.
