Example of Balance Transfer Scenario

Jane has 2 credit cards. They feature:

• Card #1 – A balance of $2533 and an interest rate of 17.99% p.a.
• Card #2 – A balance of $3320 and an interest rate of 16.99% p.a.

To cut down on her interest repayments, Jane decides to carry out a balance transfer in order to repay the minimum possible. A 0% for 6 month offer isn’t long enough for her to repay the debt, so she decides to undertake a 2.9% for 12 month transfer with the Citibank Silver Credit Card.
Her input into the balance transfer calculator would look like this:
-

-

The ‘regular interest rate’ and ‘annual fee’ are of the credit card you plan to make the transfer to. After the inputs have been made and Jane presses ‘Calculate’, she gets her results:

-

The first bar is how much interest Jane would have paid by taking 12 months to pay off her 2 original balances.

The second column is how much she spent in interest on her balance transfer card, including the cost of the annual fee.

The third column is how much money she saved by carrying out the balance transfer.
