Understanding a Credit Card Statement

As a cardholder, you must always read through your credit card statement to handle your finances better. However, many individuals find it difficult to comprehend their card statement's various terms and sections.

Here’s a few pointers to help you better understand the different terms used in a credit card statement.

1. Billing Cycle

The billing cycle represents the period for which the credit card statement has been generated. Depending on the month, the length of the billing cycle can vary from 27 to 31 days.

2. Payment Due Date

The payment due date is the deadline by which you must pay either the total amount outstanding or the minimum amount due. Payment beyond this date will lead to the bank levying a penalty in the form of a late fee.

3. Total Dues or Current Outstanding Balance

The total due is the amount that you would have to pay to the card issuer on or before the payment due date. This amount includes the previous month’s unpaid outstanding amounts as well as the current month’s usage.

4. Minimum Amount Due

You must pay this minimum amount within every billing cycle to keep the card active and avoid late payment fees. The minimum due amount is usually a percentage, around 5%, of the current outstanding balance. Paying only the minimum amount will cause you to lose the interest-free period. The remaining unpaid outstanding amount will start to accrue interest till the day you clear off all your dues.

5. Credit Limit

The credit limit is the maximum amount of money that you can use with a credit card. Card issuers take a host of different factors into consideration before granting a credit limit for your card.

6. Transaction History

This section of the credit card statement contains all the information related to the transactions that you’ve made during the billing cycle. It includes both debit and credit transactions.

7. Rewards

The rewards section of the credit card statement contains information relating to the change in the number of reward points during the billing cycle. This includes points at the start of the billing cycle, accumulated points, points redeemed and points at the end of the cycle.

How is the Minimum Amount Due Calculated?

The minimum due amount is calculated at 5% of the total amount withdrawn from the credit card.

To understand how the minimum due amount is calculated, consider that the bank generates the statement on the 25th of the month.

If the payment due date is 5th of every month. Here is how the minimum due amount will be calculated for credit transactions of ₹5000, ₹2000, and ₹6000.

Date of Transaction	Amount	Comment
15th July	₹5,000	No interest or late payment fee applies
20th July	₹2,000	No interest or late payment fee applies
24th July	₹6,000	No interest or late payment fee applies
25th July	₹13,000	Credit card statement generates for ₹13,000, with ₹650 minimum due payment amount
5th August	₹650	After the minimum due amount of ₹650 is paid, the outstanding ₹12,350 will incur interest as per the lenders’ rate, if left unpaid after the grace period
