INSTALLMENT GUIDE
The rate in this tool is a total fee for the entire installment term, not a monthly rate or APR. At 1,000,000 with a 6% total fee rate, the reference fee is 60,000. Issuer disclosures may use a different rate convention.
The tool shows an average by dividing total payment by the number of installments. Actual statements can vary slightly by installment because of unit rounding or an issuer-specific billing formula.
Entering 0% is a reference case with no fee. It does not verify whether a specific card, merchant or purchase period qualifies for an actual interest-free promotion.
Partial interest-free plans can assign fees to only certain installments and are not equivalent to a simple 0% plan. This calculator does not infer those installment-by-installment promotion rules automatically.
With the same total fee rate, 12 months lowers the average monthly burden versus 6 months while total cost stays the same. If an issuer charges different rates by term, enter each term’s actual rate separately for a meaningful comparison.
A lower monthly figure can hide the total spending commitment. Review purchase amount, total fee and total payment together, and separately check credit limit, promotion expiry, late charges and cancellation settlement rules.
