This amount will also include any other amounts due under your credit card contract. Here are some examples of applicable interest for a 30-day billing cycle: If the regular annual interest rate is 10.9% and your average daily outstanding balance is $100, you'd be charged $0.90 in interest. If it's $500, you'd be charged $4.48 in interest, and if it's $1,000 you'd be charged $8.96 in interest.
