BNPL Debt Trap Simulator
Reveal the hidden cost of BNPL and No-Cost EMI purchases. See how processing fees and stacked EMIs trap your cash flow.
Quick Summary: BNPL Debt Trap Simulator
The 'BNPL Debt Trap' occurs when multiple small EMIs stack up to consume more than 40% of your monthly take-home pay. While 'No-Cost' EMIs often waive interest, they still charge processing fees (₹199+) and 18% GST. Missing a single payment cycle triggers flat late fees (~₹250), leading to an effective XIRR of 50-100% on small purchases.
