Debt calculator

Debt Payoff Calculator

Estimate payoff time, total interest, and how much faster an extra monthly payment could move your plan.

How this calculator works

The calculator compounds interest monthly using the APR you enter, then subtracts your monthly payment until the balance reaches zero.

Formula

Monthly interest = current balance x APR / 12. New balance = current balance + monthly interest - monthly payment.

Snowball vs. avalanche

This page estimates one debt at a time. A future version can compare multiple debts and show snowball and avalanche payoff orders.

Important note

This is an educational estimate. Actual payoff timing can change because of fees, promotional APRs, statement timing, and changes to your payment behavior.
