Assumes one card at its purchase rate, with no new spending and no fees. Interest is worked out monthly, so your bank's figures will differ a little.

Reading your result

The minimum repayment amount falls as your balance falls, so paying only the minimum stretches the debt out for years. A steady amount clears it far sooner.

New purchases on the same card add to the balance you're paying down, so keep them on a different account while you clear it.
