How to use this calculator
Enter the balance, current APR, balance transfer fee, promotional APR and payoff months. The calculator estimates whether the transfer fee is lower than the interest you may avoid during the payoff window.
How to avoid mistakes
Do not transfer debt without a payoff plan. Check whether purchases lose grace period, whether the promo APR expires, and whether late payments can cancel promotional terms. A balance transfer is a math tool, not a reason to keep revolving debt.

FAQ
What is the break-even point for a balance transfer?
It is when avoided interest is greater than the transfer fee and any new costs.
Should I include the balance transfer fee?
Yes. Most offers charge a percentage upfront, and that fee can erase savings on small or quickly paid balances.
Does this predict approval?
No. It only estimates math. Approval and limits are controlled by the issuer.
What if I cannot pay off before the promo ends?
Run the payoff calculator too and be conservative. Remaining balance may accrue higher APR after the promo.
Is this debt advice?
No. This is educational and not financial, legal or credit counseling advice.
