How does American Express calculate my minimum due payment on my consumer credit card?
To compute the Minimum Payment Due, we start with the highest of:
-2% of the New Balance (excluding any overlimit amount and late fees charged on the statement);
-Interest charged on the statement plus 1% of the New Balance (excluding any overlimit amount, late fees and interest charged on the statement), not to exceed 4% of the New Balance; or
-$35.00.
Then, we add any late fees charged on the statement and 1/24th of any overlimit amount, round to the nearest whole dollar. After that, we add any amount past due.
