1. What is the BDO Cash Advance Calculator?

The BDO Credit Card Cash Advance Calculator helps you estimate the cost of obtaining cash advances using your BDO credit card. It calculates the interest charges and total amount payable based on the advance amount, monthly interest rate, and applicable fees.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the BDO cash advance formula:

\[ Interest = Advance\ Amount \times (Monthly\ Rate) + Fee \]

Where:

\( Advance\ Amount \) — The amount of cash you want to withdraw (PHP)
\( Monthly\ Rate \) — The monthly interest rate as a percentage
\( Fee \) — Any additional fees charged by the bank (PHP)

Explanation: The formula calculates the total interest cost by applying the monthly rate to the advance amount and adding any fixed fees charged by the bank.

3. Understanding Cash Advance Costs

Details: Cash advances typically have higher interest rates than regular credit card purchases and may include additional fees. Interest starts accruing immediately from the transaction date with no grace period.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the cash advance amount in PHP, the monthly interest rate as a percentage (check your BDO card terms), and any applicable fees. All values must be positive numbers.
