Get financial freedom

Credit cards are not a luxury anymore, but a necessity. They allow you to experience financial freedom while having your back in situations of emergency. So whether it is financing your child’s higher education or attending to a medical emergency, a credit card can be your best bet for financial help. EMI or Equated Monthly Installments are an important feature of credit cards and it helps you plan your installments in a much better way. EMI helps you divide your outstanding amount into smaller payments. However, with ease comes a risk. So, it becomes important that you regularly monitor your payments and set a reminder for the due dates. To do this you can use Credit Card Interest Calculator.

How Does the Credit Card EMI Calculator Work?

So, the next obvious question is, how to use a credit card loan calculator? How to plan monthly installments with the help of this extremely useful tool?

Credit Card EMI Calculator is designed to keep a tab on your interest rates and loan. Thereby, helping you to determine your monthly credit card payout. It can be used by following these simple steps:

  • First, you need to enter the type of EMI
  • Then enter principal amount of the loan taken
  • Then enter the interest rate
  • After that you need to enter the tenure of the loan
  • Now you can easily find your monthly EMI, total interest amount and total amount payable. The EMI will reflect in your monthly bill which you have to pay accordingly.

What you need to keep in mind however is, only using a credit card loan calculator will not guarantee you the EMI allotment that you’re looking forward to. Every bank has a certain procedure in place for this and here’s what they usually follow:

Things to Keep in Mind While Opting for an EMI on Credit Cards

While Credit Card EMI takes your financial freedom to an all new level, opting for a Credit Card EMI can be tricky business. To ensure smooth processing that leaves your financial health unharmed, you must keep in mind a few important things:

  • Interest Rate
    When you choose the Credit Card EMI facility, your bank charges you an interest on your principal or outstanding amount for allowing you to pay later in installments. Usually, longer loan tenures attract a higher interest rate. Risk assessment is conducted based on your credit card repayment history and records to determine the interest rate.

    If you have the privilege of time to plan your purchase, you can take the help of a credit card loan calculator to find out what is the breakup of funds.

  • Processing Fee
    Most banks provide Credit Card EMI as a no-cost facility. But there may be exceptions where you are charged a processing fee. Before opting for the Credit Card EMI facility it is advisable that you verify this factor with your bank.

  • Prepayment Charges
    Another crucial factor that you must consider before choosing the Credit Card EMI option is to get complete understanding of the prepayment charges and applicable taxes. Prepayment charges are a charge or a fee that your bank may ask you to pay on early repayment of your dues. Having this information will specially help if you are aware of certain funds coming into your account in the near future. It can help you make a better decision.

    Kotak Mahindra Bank does not charge you any prepayment or foreclosure fee.

  • Credit Card EMI Facility
    Now this is something that you have to find out before applying for a credit card. While Credit Card EMI is common practice, not all banks may offer you that facility. So, when you decide on getting your credit card from a bank, you should check with them about this facility.

    If you try to avail of it in the middle of a financial crisis and your credit card does not actually allow you to, then you could land in a bigger trouble. So, better informed is always the best way forward!

  • Assessing Your Repayment Capacity
    This cannot be emphasized enough! While opting for Credit Card EMI it is essential that you evaluate your ability to repay the dues in full throughout the allotted tenure. For this, you can use a credit card loan calculator and find out the practicality of your decision.
