Browser-based
Enter multiple debts with balances, APRs, and minimum payments, then add an extra monthly amount to see avalanche payoff order, timeline, and total interest.
Results are estimates for educational purposes and are not financial advice. Actual payoff timing depends on issuer policies and payment timing.
How to use this tool
1. Add each debt with balance, APR, and minimum payment. 2. Enter an extra monthly amount. 3. Calculate to see payoff order (highest APR first), months to debt-free, and total interest.
Worked example
Example: the same two debts with $100 extra—avalanche targets the higher APR loan first, often reducing total interest versus snowball.
How it works
Applies minimum payments to every debt, then sends extra payments to the highest APR balance first. This usually minimizes total interest compared with the snowball method.
Limitations
Results are estimates for educational purposes and are not financial advice. Actual payoff timing depends on issuer policies and payment timing.
