18x1000.00 + when the loan has to paid back by.
That's an effective annual rate of 15.39%, thanks to the magic of compound interest (simple multiplication gives 14.4%, but this neglects the fact that if you don't pay it off each month you wind up paying interest on interest).
If you're collecting it, it's wonderful.If you're paying it, you have my condolences.
When starting your credit history with a low credit limit, it's best to pay off your high-interest credit card balance in full each month to avoid accruing interest and damaging your credit score. If you're unable to pay the full balance, at least make the minimum payment by the due date to maintain a positive payment history. Consistently paying on time not only helps build your credit history but also demonstrates responsible credit management.
It will take 78 days and a bit.
5% interest is just 5% of the final monthly bill being added to your bill....say the bill is 100.00 a month...well you're gonna be paying 105.00 a month...
The answer to that question depends on how much interest you are paying and how much interest you are earning. Almost all of the time it is better to pay off your credit cards. But if you need to borrow for something else then you need to compare interest rates before you pay offthe credit cards. But ALMOST ALL of the time paying off a credit card and not paying interest is in your best interest.
By paying off the debt you owe
To avoid paying interest on purchases, you can pay off your credit card balance in full each month, use a debit card instead of a credit card, or look for promotional 0 interest offers.
Making monthly payments on a no interest loan is way better than paying it off in full if you are looking to improve your credit score.
Then you should probably look for a lower interest rate card, unless you plan to pay off the balance in full. Otherwise, you will be paying ALOT of interest. A card with a small yearly fee that offers an 11% interest rate may be worth paying the fee to avoid very high interest payments if you plan to carry a balance. A line of credit is a good alternative to a credit card and often have much lower interest rates. It is always a good idea to consult a financial advisor or someone at the bank who can help you make intelligent credit decisions.
The easiest thing you can do to reduce the amount of interest you incur to your credit card is to pay the bill as soon as you get it. You can also try asking the credit card company to drop your rate.
To prevent paying interest on your credit card or any other loan, you should pay off the full balance by the due date each month. This way, you avoid carrying a balance and accruing interest charges.

pay the balance in full every month
Islam. You have to call it something else.
When you have a balance on your credit card, you are paying interest. If you can find a credit card with a lower interest rate and a 0% balance transfer, you will be saving money.
