CREDIT CARD INTEREST CALCULATOR It Pays To Get A Better Interest Rate
Here's a quick and handy credit card interest calculator that will give you an idea just how much that sale item is really
costing you. AND, if you've got bad credit; or even marginal credit, it can cost you so much more.
It really does save you much more than it costs you to improve your credit score. Let me say that again. It saves
you money in many ways to get your credit score improved - no matter how you do it. Take a look at the examples below.
What's YOUR Story?
How Bad Credit Affects You
Very few things in life can have a more devastating effect on your lifestyle than a poor credit score. A low credit score can cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars per month.
Credit Cards Most prime credit cards are entirely out of reach to consumers with bad credit. And the few credit cards that are available to them (known as "sub-prime" cards) typically require exorbitant setup fees or recurring monthly fees, offer very low credit lines, often require cash deposits, and in most cases do not even report your positive credit activity to the credit bureaus.
Automobile Financing
If you are making payments on a car, you are probably paying between $5,000 and $9,000 more just for having bad credit. This added interest shows up every month in a higher payment. Take a look.

Home MortgageBad credit in auto financing can really hurt, but it is nothing compared to the cost of bad credit when a home is involved. A typical home can cost between $50,000 and $130,000 more in interest if you are buying the home with bad credit.
