Before you connect
Questions about Balance Transfer Evaluator.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Does the Balance Transfer Evaluator help me choose a new credit card?
It helps you decide if a specific card's offer is a good financial move compared to your current debt. It shows you the math on fees and interest so you can make an informed choice.
Can I use the Balance Transfer Evaluator to see how much interest I'll save?
Yes, it compares your current card's interest against a new offer's fees and rates. It gives you a clear net savings number.
How does the Balance Transfer Evaluator handle transfer fees?
It treats the fee as a cost that gets added to your new balance. It then simulates how that extra amount affects your payoff timeline.
Can I see how my monthly budget affects my debt?
Yes, the capability shows you how much your total interest changes if you pay more or less each month. It helps you find the sweet spot for your budget.
Does the Balance Transfer Evaluator work for all types of debt?
No, it is specifically designed for credit card balance transfers. It's not meant for mortgages, student loans, or business lines of credit.
What is a Baseline Path in the Balance Transfer Evaluator?
That's the simulation of what happens if you do nothing and keep paying off your current card. It's the benchmark used to show you how much you'll save by switching.
How does the capability calculate the transfer cost?
The capability calculates the upfront transfer fee as a percentage of your initial balance and adds it to the new principal. It then simulates monthly interest accrual during both the promotional APR phase and the post-promotional standard APR phase until the balance reaches zero.
Can I see how much faster I will pay off my debt?
The capability provides a specific timeline using estimate_payoff_timeline, which returns the total number of months until your balance is zero and the amount of your final payment.
What happens if my monthly payment doesn't cover the interest?
The simulation will return an error. For a successful payoff, your monthly payment must be greater than the interest generated in the first month to prevent the debt from growing infinitely.
