Payoff schedule method and statement check

The payoff estimate applies the entered APR and fixed payment to a declining balance. It is a planning approximation because issuers may calculate interest daily, separate balances by APR, apply payments under account rules, and add fees or new transactions.

Use the balance and APR from the latest statement, enter a payment that can be sustained, and compare the next statement with the projected interest and ending balance. Model promotional rates separately and add any transfer fee to the opening balance. New spending must be included or stopped for the payoff date to remain meaningful.
