SMALL STEPS. REAL PROGRESS.
Pay the regular amount on every debt, then put extra money toward the highest interest rate. This generally reduces the interest you pay.
Start with the smallest balance. As each debt clears, roll that payment into the next one. Early wins can help you keep going.
Enter the principal, annual interest rate and term. The calculator estimates a monthly principal-and-interest payment and compares the schedule with an extra monthly payment. Use it for simplified mortgage or auto-loan scenarios.
Taxes, insurance, escrow, fees, prepayment penalties and variable rates are excluded. Payments and interest are modeled monthly and rounded to cents. Confirm your lender’s actual payment and rules for extra principal before making decisions.
Calculations happen on your device. Save a plan locally or download its schedule. These are educational estimates, not personalized financial advice.
Estimates use fixed APRs, monthly interest rounded to cents, and payments at the end of each month. Your total monthly budget stays constant: payments freed by paid-off debts roll into the next debt. The baseline uses the same strategy without extra payments. First payment is one month from today. Actual lender schedules, daily interest, variable rates, fees, and changing minimum payments may differ. Estimates are educational, not financial advice.
Debt labels and amounts stay in your browser. Saving stores your plan in this browser’s local storage; resetting removes that saved plan. No analytics, advertising scripts, AI services, or bank connections are enabled in this version. Your hosting provider may log ordinary page requests.
