Carrying a balance you want to move?

A 0% intro APR card can cut the interest on an existing balance. Run the numbers with the balance transfer savings calculator, or take the quiz to find your match among 0% APR and balance-transfer cards.

This calculator is for general education, not financial, legal, or tax advice. Results are estimates based on the numbers you enter and standard month-by-month amortization; your actual interest depends on your issuer’s balance-calculation method, compounding, and the exact APR, fees, and terms of your card, which vary by issuer. Confirm current numbers with your card issuer before making a decision.
