If you carry a balance beyond your credit card\u2019s grace period, your APR determines the amount of interest the card issuer can charge on that balance.

The average credit card APR is currently just below 20%.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>Even a credit card at the national average can be considered a decent option, especially if you\u2019re looking at one of today\u2019s best credit cards that comes with rewards, bonuses and perks that can help offset any fees.<\/p>\n<p>However, while a 20% APR might be a good rate because it matches the current national average, you still want to try for APRs below that. Credit card interest is notoriously higher than that of other means of credit. Definitely try to avoid cards with APRs significantly above the national average. If you carry a balance on those cards, you could end up paying a lot of money in interest.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"types\" data-position=\"2\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-2-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"Different types of APR on a credit card\" data-outcome=\"\">Different types of APR on a credit card<\/h2>\n<p>The purchase APR is just one type of interest rate you\u2019ll need to consider with your credit card.

The details of your credit history and the information you provided in your credit application inform what APR you are approved for.<\/p>\n<p>Credit card issuers set their APRs by adding their profit margin (usually about 12% to 13%) to the prime rate. For context, the current prime rate is just under 7%. Much like other financing options, a good to excellent credit score will often secure a lower APR for a credit card than bad credit.<\/p>\n<h3>How to calculate your APR<\/h3>\n<p>If you aren\u2019t sure what the interest rate is for each of these different types of APRs on your card, one of the easiest ways to confirm your APR is by reviewing your credit card\u2019s <u>rates and fees document<\/u>. When you open your account, your purchase APR, along with the cash advance and penalty APRs, should be listed in the Schumer box of the card\u2019s terms and conditions.<\/p>\n<p>You can also review your monthly card statement, call your issuer directly using the customer service number or check your card\u2019s mobile app or website and look for account details.<\/p>\n<section class=\"editorial-insight-box --insight-box +mg-vertical-md\" data-template=\"insight_box\">\n<div class=\"card-body border-l-4 border-blue-800\">\n<div class=\"content-wrapper\">\n<p>\n                    How to calculate your card balance\u2019s interest\n                <\/p>\n<div class=\"content wysiwyg wysiwyg--flush\">\n<p>Use this formula to calculate the interest applied to your account during a given billing cycle:<\/p>\n<p>[daily rate] x [average daily balance] x [days in billing cycle] = credit card interest<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spending example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Imagine you\u2019ve completed a 31-day billing cycle, and you\u2019re carrying an unpaid balance of $1,000 at an APR of 18%.<\/p>\n<p>To find your daily rate, you\u2019d first divide your APR by 365.<\/p>\n<p><strong>18% \/ 365 = .049%<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To find your average daily balance, you\u2019d then add the balance of your card after each day in the billing cycle and divide your balance by the number of days in the billing cycle.

However, a good APR for a credit card alone shouldn\u2019t be the only consideration.

The Citi Double Cash charges a penalty APR of up to 29.99% (Variable) that applies if you pay late or your payment is returned.
