Escaping Credit Card Compounding

Adding a fixed monthly sum above the minimum payment targets principal directly, stopping the 42%+ APR debt spiral.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does extra principal reduce GST charges?

Yes. Lower interest accrual directly reduces the 18% GST levied on financing charges.

Should you stop using the card while paying it off?

Yes. While carrying a balance, new transactions do not receive an interest-free grace period and accrue interest immediately.

Is credit card EMI conversion cheaper than paying minimums?

Yes. Card EMI rates are typically 14% to 18% annualized, compared to 42% on unpaid balances.

How does full payoff help your CIBIL score?

Bringing credit utilization below 30% helps boost your credit score.
