Can someone help me understand APR and credit cards with my personal example?

411 viewsEconomicsOther

I’ve gotten a mixed of information among friends, and internet. I was hoping to solidify understanding using my current credit card balance as an example. So as long as I pay the minimum I will not have to pay interest? If I do have to pay interest would I be paying 29.99%/12 for however much I owe by the end of the month? Or does it accumulate and charge me at the end of the year?

Current Balance: $2161

Remaining Statement Balance: $0

Next Closing Date April 9th

Payment due: $0

Purchase APR: 27.49%

Cash advance APR: 29.99%

If you only pay the minimum, you will be paying interest..

Credit card interest is often calculated on a daily basis and charged once a month
