How to Use Georgia's Credit Card Payoff Calculator

This Georgia credit card payoff calculator helps residents of Georgia create personalized debt elimination plans. Enter your card details to see how additional payments accelerate your payoff timeline and save you money on interest:

• Current Balance ($) - Your total credit card debt (e.g., $3,500). For Georgia residents, this includes any outstanding balances from cards issued by GA-based banks or national issuers.
• Interest Rate (APR %) - Your card's Annual Percentage Rate (e.g., 17.5%). Georgia law caps credit card APRs for state-chartered banks, but most national cards follow federal guidelines.
• Payoff Goal (in Months) - Your target timeframe to eliminate debt (e.g., 24 months). Georgia consumers often use this to align with state tax refunds or seasonal income.
• Current Monthly Payment ($) - Your existing minimum payment amount (e.g., $125). Important: Georgia law requires minimum payments to cover at least 1% of your balance plus fees.
• Additional Monthly Charges ($) - New charges you typically add each month (e.g., $100). Helps project realistic scenarios for Georgia shoppers.
• Annual Fee ($) - Yearly card maintenance fees (e.g., $100). Common for premium cards but less frequent for standard GA credit cards.
