Understanding Credit Card Debt & Payoff Strategies

How Credit Card Interest Works

Credit cards use compound interest, meaning you pay interest on both your principal balance and any unpaid interest. This is why minimum payments can keep you in debt for decades.

  • Interest compounds daily on most cards
  • Minimum payments mostly cover interest
  • Higher balances = more interest charges

Effective Payoff Strategies

The key to paying off credit card debt faster is paying more than the minimum and avoiding new charges.

  • Pay more than minimum every month
  • Stop using the card for new purchases
  • Make payments twice per month
