The minimum due amount is typically calculated at 5% of the total amount withdrawn from the credit card.
Let’s take an example to understand how the minimum due amount is calculated. Consider that the bank generates the statement on the 25th of the month.
If the payment due date is the 5th of every month. Here is how the minimum due amount will be calculated for credit transactions of ₹5000, ₹2000, and ₹6000.
Date of Transaction |
Amount |
Comment |
15th July |
₹5,000 |
No interest or late payment fee applies |
20th July |
₹2,000 |
No interest or late payment fee applies |
24th July |
₹6,000 |
No interest or late payment fee applies |
25th July |
₹13,000 |
Credit card statement generates for ₹13,000, with ₹650 minimum due payment amount |
5th August |
₹650 |
After the minimum due amount of ₹650 is paid, the outstanding ₹12,350 will incur interest as per the lenders’ rate, if left unpaid after the grace period |
Imagine your credit card is like a small loan from the bank. Every time you buy something, it's like borrowing more money from them. The total amount you borrowed is called the "outstanding balance."
Now, the bank doesn't expect you to pay back everything at once. They'll let you keep making small monthly payments, which is the minimum due amount.
In this example, the bank sets the minimum due amount at 5% of the total amount you borrowed (the outstanding balance). So, if you spent a total of ₹13,000 on your card, the minimum due amount would be 5% of that, which is ₹650.
Here's the key point: This minimum due amount is calculated based on the outstanding balance on the day the statement is generated (25th July in this case). So, any purchases you make after that date won't be considered until the next statement.
So, remember:
Pay at least the minimum due amount by the payment due date (5th August) to avoid late fees.
The remaining balance (₹12,350 in this case) will start accruing interest if you don't pay it off before the grace period ends.
