Debt Payoff Planner
Snowball or avalanche? Run both. Keep the cheaper one.
Snowball vs avalanche, side by side.
Balances, APRs, and minimums in one list.
Watch the debt-free date move as you add more.
Overview
Debt Payoff Planner answers the question every payoff journey starts with: snowball or avalanche? List each debt with its balance, APR, and minimum payment, choose how much extra you can put in monthly, and the planner runs a real month-by-month simulation of both strategies — monthly compounding, minimums first, rollover payments attacking the target debt — and shows debt-free dates, total interest, the payoff order, and exactly how much the avalanche saves. If minimums can't outrun the interest, it says so instead of pretending. Your numbers never leave the browser, which is precisely where debt numbers belong.
