Balance Transfer Savings Calculator: assumptions and common mistakes
A useful estimate starts with the right inputs. Check the following assumptions and limits before applying the result to your situation.
- Monthly reducing-balance estimate with a constant rate and end-of-month payments. Actual lender rounding, payment dates, rate resets, fees and taxes can change the schedule.
- Compare offers over the same tenure. A lower EMI can come from a longer loan, which may increase total interest.
