How to use this calculator
Enter your balances, APRs, and monthly payoff budget. WalletCalcs will run the calculation and show a practical estimate you can use as a starting point.
What your result means
Your result shows a comparison of which debt each strategy would target first. The number is meant to help with planning and comparison, not to replace lender, employer, tax, or account-specific information.
Enter three debts and a payoff budget to compare where a snowball strategy starts versus an avalanche strategy.
Why this estimate is useful
Simple financial estimates can make decisions feel less blurry. A calculator will not capture every fee, tax rule, lender guideline, or personal detail, but it can give you a cleaner number to compare before you dig deeper.
