How To Work Out Minimum Payment On Credit Card?

Check your credit card statement for the minimum payment amount

Identify the balance shown on the statement

Find the minimum payment rule in your card agreement

Use the greater of the fixed minimum amount or the percentage of the balance

Add any interest charged for the billing period

Add any fees due, such as late fees or over-limit fees

Compare the result to the card’s stated minimum floor amount

If your card uses a percentage formula, multiply the balance by that percentage

If your card uses a flat minimum, use that fixed amount unless the balance is smaller

If your card requires both a percentage and interest/fees, add them together

Round to the nearest cent if needed

Verify the final amount against the statement minimum payment due
