You have 21 days from the date your monthly statement is issued to pay the full balance on your account without incurring interest (except on cash advances). The minimum payment due is 5% of the total statement balance. This means the balance shown on your account statement for the previous period, any interest or monthly installments that were not paid on the due date for that period, your regular purchases, any cash advances from the current statement period, plus the interest charged on those cash advances. This amount will also include any other amounts due under your credit card contract. Examples of applicable interest charges: If the regular annual interest rate is 19.40% and your average daily outstanding balance is $100, you'd be charged $1.59 in interest. If your balance was $500, you'd be charged $7.67 in interest, and if it was $1,000, you'd be charged $15.95 in interest.
