Budget & Freedom Free Tool
Debt Avalanche Calculator
Estimate a debt payoff plan that focuses extra money on your highest-interest debt first, then rolls each freed payment into the next debt.
Your Debts
Enter each balance, APR and required monthly payment. Add up to 10 debts.
This amount is added to your regular required payments and directed to the current avalanche target.

How the debt avalanche calculation works
The calculator orders debts from the highest APR to the lowest APR. Each month, your required payments are included in one total debt-payment budget. Any extra monthly payment is added to that budget.
After required payments are covered, the remaining amount goes toward the highest-interest unpaid debt. When that debt is paid off, its former payment stays in the monthly budget and automatically rolls to the next-highest-interest debt.
Interest is estimated monthly using the APR entered for each debt. Actual lenders may calculate interest, minimum payments, fees and statement timing differently.
