The Balance Transfer Optimizer (Promo Rate) is a free, embeddable calculator from CalcFunnel. Model a 0% or low intro rate that later reverts, to see if you clear the balance before the promo ends.
You enter 6 inputs: balance to transfer, monthly payment, transfer fee (%), promo rate (%), promo length (months) and regular APR after promo (%).
It returns total cost (Fee + interest), transfer fee, total interest, payoff time and balance when promo ends.
Built for credit counselors and consolidation lenders. Embedding it on your own website needs the Pro plan (from $150/month, with a 14-day free trial), which unlocks the Credit & Debt category.
The first figure — total cost (fee + interest) — is the headline result.
Inputs
Each field below comes straight from the calculator, with the same help text visitors see when they hover the info icon.
