About

Paid your credit card off — and still got charged interest? It's called trailing interest. It's real, it's legal, and almost nobody explains it. Pay Down explains it — and tracks what every purchase on your cards actually costs you. Credit card interest doesn't work the way most people think. It accrues daily, your statement balance (not your current balance) is your official bill, and after one carried month it can take two full billing cycles to get back into your grace period. Banks don't hide this — but they don't explain it either. Pay Down does, with your own numbers. TRACK YOUR REAL CARDS Add your cards from your monthly statements or a CSV export from your bank — no bank login needed to start. Pay Down allocates interest to each purchase, so you see the real figure: • That $50 dinner, carried eight months at 24% APR, cost you $58. Pay Down shows you $58. • See exactly which purchases are quietly costing the most • Know your debt-free date from your actual payment pace — to the month • Model paying $50 more per month (or $200) and watch the date move • Compare payoff strategies: avalanche, snowball, or cut spending • Get warned before trailing interest hits, and understand it when it does • Track progress as your balances actually move — exact dollars, not vibes Prefer automatic? Optional bank sync (Premium) keeps your cards current without imports. Your choice, never a requirement. WHO IT'S FOR People carrying a credit card balance who want an honest picture of what it's costing them — and a clear, dated path out. Not a budgeting app, not an investing app. If you've ever typed "why was I charged interest after I paid in full" into a search bar at 11pm, this app was built for you. ALSO INCLUDED • Four free calculators — True Cost, Balance Transfer, HELOC/Loan Payoff, and Minimum Payment Trap — for quick answers before you add a card • Weekly check-ins and progress tracking • Card sharing with your partner, so you pay it down together FREE VS. PREMIUM Tracking is free: unlimited cards, statement and CSV import, all true-cost math, debt-free projections, payoff strategies, and all four calculators. Premium adds automatic bank sync, the Insights tab (true-cost multiplier, category breakdowns, effective APR trends), and a monthly AI spending review. Pay Down Premium is an auto-renewing subscription: 7-day free trial, then $59.99/year (a monthly plan is also available). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account; the subscription renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Terms: https://ezbay.com/terms — Privacy: https://ezbay.com/privacy Add your first card and see what your balance is actually costing you. The numbers might be uncomfortable. That's the point.

LEARN & PLAY • New Quiz: short daily rounds on how credit-card interest, statements, payoff strategies and more really work. 8 topics, points for speed and streaks, Bronze-to-Diamond levels, standings, and a review queue that brings back what you missed. Find it in the header. SMARTER NUMBERS • Payoff dates pause while a balance is still growing, and show the monthly step that would bring a date back. • Search results chart spending vs. True Cost by month — red is the interest your cards charged. • Min Payment calculator: a "What if you paid more?" ladder with total interest and savings at each step. • When an interest charge first appears, Pay Down explains what caused it and offers a copyable script for asking your bank about a one-time goodwill waiver. • Insights: tap the info icon to see what each credit-utilization band means. IMPORT & ALERTS • CSV import accepts more banks and formats: semicolon/tab delimiters, Spanish and French headers, day/month/year dates, decimal-comma amounts. • Interest-charge alerts now reach manual and CSV cards too. • Notification settings: set your own large-purchase threshold, plus one housekeeping toggle for account reminders.
