Does this work for mortgages?

It can, but the Mortgage Calculator is better suited for that. This tool is best for credit cards and personal loans.

Why is the interest so high?

Credit cards often have high APRs (15-25%+). Small balances can accumulate significant interest if only minimum payments are made.
