Pretend you make $750 worth of purchases on your credit card, your bill arrives saying your minimum payment due is $25 and you pay $150 before the due date. Describe how credit card interest works and what you can expect to happen next.

Answer and Explanation:

You will be charged credit card interest on the outstanding balance. Your credit card interest is added to your outstanding balance for each day past your due date of payment(after the month you didn't pay the full amount)

You made a purchase of $750 and paid $150 and so you have an outstanding balance of $600. This outstanding balance will be charged interest on daily basis. Let's assume your APR(your annual interest over 12 months) is 24%, your interest is broken down into months and then days. Your monthly interest is therefore 24/12= 2% and your daily interest = 0.02/30 = 0.00067= 0.0067% per day.

Based on this assumption, you will be charged 0.0067% interest on your outstanding balance each day till you make full payment(interest + outstanding balance)
