Debt Consolidation rates and minimium payment requirements are established by the creditors
not the consolidators. This page is designed to allow you to use the minimum percentage
requirement of your balance and the interest rate you are paying now along with the interest
rates that the major creditors offer under debt consolidation plans to see the
difference in payoff times for your credit cards. The major credit card companies
change their interest rates from time to time so we will keep this calculation
tool updated for you.
To use the Calculator at the bottom of this page, multiply your balances by the creditors minimum. For
example First USA Balance $5000 x .02= $100 minimum payment. Enter your minimum
payment, the interest rate you are paying now and the interest rate that the
creditor offers under Debt Consolidation plans and see your savings. |
