How to calculate monthly interest on a line of credit?

Lines of credit are typically offered in the form of a credit card which acts like a bank debit card but for credit funds rather than the cash in your bank account. MoneyMe’s Freestyle account works a little differently. Not only do we offer a wholly online application and approval process, but we also don’t waste time and resources with unnecessary plastic. Your credit card from MoneyMe lives in your smartphone and is designed for use in stores wherever Tap n Pay is accepted, and online shopping. Why? Because we offer Gen Now credit options that are relevant to our customers, are easy to apply and get approved for, and offer fast and painless digital contracts you can sign instantly.  

The type of credit line you have applied and been approved for, like our fast loans online and same day loans, will offer yearly interest rates for the credit funds you draw on. Understanding how to calculate the interest payable on your credit account is important. If you have taken out something like a car loan then using a personal loan repayment calculator can help you to understand what part of your regular repayment constitutes your principal loan amount (the amount you borrowed) and which part is the interest repayment. Credit card interest works a bit differently and the amount can change month to month.

Interest is calculated every month and your credit bill should show you what the amount payable is as well as which part of that payable amount is the interest payment. We offer our virtual credit card customers options like 55 days interest-free on purchases which means that interest is not calculated on credit amounts until that 55-day period has expired. If you repay your credit amount within the 55 days in full then what you’re basically using is an interest free credit card.

When you take out quick loans, you agree to a fixed repayment schedule in which your yearly interest is broken down to monthly amounts. This interest repayment is automatically calculated into your fixed repayment amount that you pay weekly, fortnightly or monthly, depending on your pay cycle and personal preference. A personal loan calculator can show you what the total amount of interest is payable over the length of your loan and give you an indication of the kind of repayment amount you will be looking at if you intend to apply for a loan. 

If you’re looking for a quick way to calculate your monthly interest on a line of credit or for our express loans you have already taken out or plan to in the future, then you’ll need access to a calculator. First, convert the annual interest rate from a percentage to a decimal format. You can do this by dividing the percentage amount by 100. Now divide that annual rate by 12 (i.e. monthly) and then times it by the total amount you have borrowed. You can convert that monthly rate back to a percentage by multiplying it by 100. 

To be eligible for any of our credit products you must be at least 18 years of age, a permanent resident in Australia and currently employed. As a responsible moneylender, we also look at your living expenses and any other debts you may have before we approve our customers for our range of credit products. This also means that we assess your credit file. We also understand, however, that a person’s credit history isn’t the complete financial picture so rest assured that your application for any of our financial loan options is assessed fairly and thoroughly by your personal loan broker.

The reason we can offer such fast approvals is that we don’t ask you for lots of paperwork and we don’t waste time staring at all of the paperwork we made you upload. Instead, we ask you for your online banking credentials which then gives us a 90-day statement of your recent banking transactions. This statement is offered in read-only PDF format and no one receives your login details. It’s powered by illion’s bank-level encryption software and you can view our privacy statement online for more details about how we protect your data.
