What the Balance Transfer Calculator does
Balance Transfer Calculator: calculates Transfer Fee, Interest if Stay and Interest after Transfer from Outstanding Balance, Current Interest % p.a. and New Interest % p.a.. Example: outstanding balance 100000 ₹, current interest % p.a. 36 and new interest % p.a. 12 gives transfer fee ₹2,000.00.
This calculator reads Outstanding Balance, Current Interest % p.a., New Interest % p.a. and Transfer Fee % and produces Transfer Fee, Interest if Stay and Interest after Transfer. Values update as you type, so comparing options is a matter of editing one field.
Typical users are anyone weighing up a loan. Small differences in rate or term compound into large differences in what you actually pay.
Because it is all local, the tool is as fast as your device and as private as your own notes.
Each field is explained further down, along with the method and a worked example that uses the default values.
What do the Balance Transfer Calculator fields mean?
The Balance Transfer Calculator uses 5 inputs. Sensible defaults are loaded up front, which means you can change one number at a time instead of filling the whole form first.
| Field | What to enter | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Outstanding Balance | measured in ₹; accepts 1000 to 10000000 | 100000 |
| Current Interest % p.a. | accepts 0 to 60 | 36 |
| New Interest % p.a. | accepts 0 to 60 | 12 |
| Transfer Fee % | accepts 0 to 10 | 2 |
| Payoff Horizon (months) | accepts 1 to 60 | 12 |
How does the Balance Transfer Calculator work?
Each output is derived from the inputs above in a single pass; there is no hidden state carried between runs, so the same inputs always give the same calculation.
Bad input produces a message, not a silently incorrect figure.

How to use it
- Set Outstanding Balance in ₹ (1000 to 10000000).
- Put Current Interest % p.a. (0 to 60).
- Key in New Interest % p.a. (0 to 60).
- Fill in Transfer Fee % (0 to 10).
- Type Payoff Horizon (months) (1 to 60).
- Because there is no round trip to a server, updating on every keystroke costs nothing.
- Check Transfer Fee, Interest if Stay, Interest after Transfer, Net Savings and Worth Transferring? on the right.
- Print gives a tidy version without the navigation, which is handy for attaching to a file.
What this tool does not do
- Fees, taxes and eligibility rules vary by product and are not included unless there is a field for them.
- Lender rounding rules differ, so the final figure on your statement may differ by a small amount.
- Treat it as a fast first pass, not as the final word on a decision that matters.
- The result inherits any error in the inputs without flagging it.
