How the Analysis Works
The calculator projects each debt month by month using the balance, interest rate, and payment you enter. When one debt is paid off, its payment can be applied to the remaining debts according to the selected strategy.

The calculator projects each debt month by month using the balance, interest rate, and payment you enter. When one debt is paid off, its payment can be applied to the remaining debts according to the selected strategy.
The debt-free date is the projected month when the combined balances reach zero. Total interest represents the estimated cost of borrowing above the balances entered, while the payment figure shows the combined monthly amount used in the projection.
Use the calculator to compare strategies rather than as a guarantee. Actual results can differ because lenders may use different interest calculations, payment timing, fees, minimum-payment rules, or other account terms.
