A 0% balance-transfer offer usually comes with a 3–5% fee. Enter your balance, current APR, and the offer to see whether the interest saved beats the fee — and what to pay each month to clear it before the promo rate expires.

Frequently asked questions

What's the catch with 0% offers?
The transfer fee (often 3–5%) and the rate snapping back to a high APR after the promo. This calculator weighs the fee and shows what to pay to finish before that happens.
Should I keep using the old card?
New purchases often don't get the promo rate — this assumes you're paying down the transferred balance, not adding to it.
