A card with a variable APR will charge more or less interest for carrying a balance depending on various factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>APRs for credit cards are tied to the federal interest rate, so any changes to the latter will affect the former. It\u2019s possible to manage a card with a variable rate once you understand its nuances.

Financial institutions use something called a <strong>\u201cprime rate\u201d<\/strong> to calculate your card\u2019s interest rate. <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, the prime rate is about 3 percent higher than the<strong> federal loan rate<\/strong>\u2014i.e., the rate set by the Federal Reserve when banks borrow money from each other. When federal interest rates go up, your credit card\u2019s APR will likely rise as well\u2014and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On February 21, 2024, the Federal Reserve published its daily <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalreserve.gov\/releases\/h15\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">selected interest rates<\/a> and set the prime rate for bank loans at <strong>8.50 percent<\/strong>.&nbsp; If you aren\u2019t sure what your current APR is, double-check your credit card statement or call your credit card provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"570\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-15.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20493\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"other-factors-that-affect-apr\"><a id=\"_a0j4q2pgnkuq\"><\/a>Other factors that affect APR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For anyone asking \u201cWhy is my variable APR so high?\u201d know that the prime rate isn\u2019t the other factor that influences APR. Some of the most common reasons that your APR may change include special programs, promotions, penalties and reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Special programs or promotions:<\/strong> Certain programs, like those that exist for service members, or promotions may lead to a lower APR. If those programs or promotions end, you may see a higher APR on your statement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Penalties: <\/strong>When you have one or more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/credit-repair\/late-payments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">late payments<\/a> over a certain period, your credit card company may establish a higher penalty APR that is detailed in your cardholder agreement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reviews: <\/strong>As your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/credit\/credit-score\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">credit score<\/a> changes over time, your credit card company may review your credit file and raise or lower your rate accordingly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>APR can change for a variety of reasons, so it\u2019s best to call your credit card provider if you aren\u2019t sure what increased or decreased your rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1041\" height=\"751\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-14.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-14.png 1041w, https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-14-768x554.png 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 767px) 600px, calc(100vw - 35px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fixed-vs-variable-apr\"><a id=\"_n7i49jhem5ib\"><\/a>Fixed vs. variable APR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A credit card with a fixed APR can only change from the rate outlined in your cardholder agreement if the card provider gives notice in advance. Fixed APR is consistent, but it can occasionally be higher than federal interest rates in certain instances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some advantages of fixed APR compared to variable APR are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Interest rates are consistent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Budgeting is easier because your monthly payments won\u2019t fluctuate too much<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some disadvantages include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed APR can be higher than federal interest rates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cardholders might not be flexible with their rates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Fully paying off your balance each month will help you avoid interest whether your card has fixed or variable APR. That said, there are a few things to keep in mind if you\u2019re trying to get a lower APR on your credit card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-calculate-apr-on-a-credit-card\"><a id=\"_m5qpsqe3ynyv\"><\/a>How to calculate APR on a credit card<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can determine how much the APR on your card will affect your balance with the following formula:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Divide your <strong>card\u2019s APR<\/strong> (for example, 25 percent) by the <strong>number of days in a year<\/strong> (365). The resulting number (0.0006849315 in this case) is your <strong>daily interest rate<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, multiply your daily rate by your<strong> current balance <\/strong>(e.g., $500).
