1. What is Cash Advance Interest?

Cash advance interest is the fee charged by credit card companies when you withdraw cash using your credit card. This interest typically starts accruing immediately and often has higher rates than regular purchases.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the cash advance interest formula:

\[ Interest = Balance \times \left( \frac{APR}{365} \right) \times 30 \]

Where:

\( Balance \) — Cash advance amount in dollars
\( APR \) — Annual Percentage Rate (percentage)
\( 365 \) — Number of days in a year
\( 30 \) — Average number of days in a month

Explanation: The formula calculates daily interest by dividing APR by 365, then multiplies by 30 to estimate monthly interest on the cash advance balance.

3. Importance of Cash Advance Interest Calculation

Details: Understanding cash advance interest costs helps consumers make informed decisions about credit card usage, avoid unexpected fees, and manage debt more effectively.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your cash advance balance in dollars and the APR percentage. The calculator will estimate the monthly interest charges. All values must be valid (balance > 0, APR ≥ 0).
