How to use Debt payoff calculator (snowball/avalanche)
- List your debts with balance, interest rate, and minimum payment.

- See your month-by-month payoff schedule and total interest paid for the chosen strategy.
Frequently asked questions
Snowball or avalanche — which saves more money?
Avalanche (highest interest rate first) mathematically minimizes total interest paid. Snowball (smallest balance first) typically costs slightly more in interest but many people stick with it longer because early wins are motivating. Run both in the tool and compare your actual numbers.
