Understanding the True Cost of Credit Card Debt

This interactive simulator demonstrates how compound interest on credit card debt grows over time. Students can manipulate variables like balance, interest rate, and payment amounts to see the real financial impact of carrying credit card debt.

Key Features:

• Interactive Calculations: Adjust balance, APR, and monthly payments to see results.

• Visual Growth Representation: Watch debt accumulate through compound interest.

• Payoff Timeline: See how long it takes to eliminate debt with different payment strategies.

• Total Interest Display: Calculate the total cost of borrowing over time.

Educational Value:

This simulator provides essential financial literacy education about credit card debt. By visualizing how compound interest works against borrowers, students develop understanding of why carrying balances is costly. The tool demonstrates the importance of paying more than minimum payments and the long-term consequences of debt accumulation. This hands-on experience builds critical financial decision-making skills that students will use throughout their lives.

Ideal for high school mathematics courses, personal finance classes, economics education, and life skills programs preparing students for financial independence.
