How This Calculator Works
MethodologyDebt Avalanche: After making the required minimum payments, extra money is directed toward the debt with the highest APR.
Debt Snowball: After making the required minimum payments, extra money is directed toward the debt with the smallest balance.
When a debt is completely paid off, its former minimum payment is rolled into the next target. This keeps your total monthly debt budget working until every debt reaches zero.
Interest is estimated monthly using: balance × APR ÷ 12 .
Actual lender statements can differ because lenders may calculate interest daily, use average daily balances, apply fees, or have different payment timing.
