How the annual fee works

If your offer includes an annual fee, it's usually billed to the card. On a $300 limit, a $75 fee would leave $225 of available credit at first — and the fee counts toward your utilization until you pay it.

How much interest would you pay?

Approximate interest for one month on a carried balance (balance × APR ÷ 12):

$500≈ $10.38≈ $14.96
