Debt Payoff Planning

List up to eight debts with balances, APRs, and minimum payments. Add monthly, yearly, or one-time extra payments. Choose snowball (smallest balance first) or avalanche (highest rate first) payoff order.

Fixed Total Payment Option

When enabled, freed minimum payments from paid-off debts roll into remaining balances—keeping total monthly outflow constant and accelerating payoff similar to a consolidation mindset without new loans.

Snowball vs Avalanche

Snowball builds momentum by clearing small wins early. Avalanche saves the most interest. The difference shrinks when rates and balances are similar.
