Using a credit card may feel like you’re using “fake” money, and it definitely makes it easier to forget how much you’re actually spending. But, putting your purchases on “plastic” is definitely the same as spending your money. Your purchases and any added interest charges can really add up. Want to see how much small charges can affect your bottom line?*

Click and drag the items on the left and drop them onto the credit card to see how these expenses and payments can affect your account.

*Please note: The example is used for illustrative purposes only, based on the following assumptions: A starting balance of $0; a grace period on purchases; a minimum payment of $15; an APR of 17.0%; and a simple finance charge calculation of the monthly balance multiplied by the APR divided by 12. Estimates will vary based on the actual terms of your account. Please see the agreement governing your personal credit card for terms and conditions applicable to your account.
