Common questions

About this calculator

Does this support avalanche or snowball?

This page models one debt. For multiple debts, use this result for each account and prioritize either highest APR first or smallest balance first.

Why does extra payment save so much interest?

Extra principal payments lower the balance earlier, so future interest is charged on a smaller amount.

How it works

01

The calculator amortizes the balance month by month using the APR converted to a monthly rate.

02

Extra payments are added to the minimum payment before interest savings are estimated.

03

If the payment does not cover monthly interest, the debt cannot be paid down under that plan.

Educational planning estimate. It does not replace an official calculation or individualized financial, tax, or legal advice.
