Finance workflow
Paying more than the minimum saves interest and shortens payoff time—but strategy matters when you owe on multiple cards. This workflow helps you model one card, compare snowball and avalanche orders, and sanity-check the plan against your budget.
Compare payoff timelines, snowball vs avalanche order, and how extra payments change interest.

FAQ
Avalanche usually costs less interest. Snowball can feel easier when you need quick wins. Run both calculators with the same debts and compare total interest and payoff dates.
Enter promotional APR and promo end dates manually if your form supports them, or run a separate scenario after a transfer.
Closing cards can affect credit utilization and account age. This workflow only models payoff math—not credit score impact.
