How It Works

Avalanche vs Snowball payoff strategies

The Avalanche method pays extra toward the debt with the highest interest rate first, minimizing total interest paid over time. The Snowball method pays extra toward the smallest balance first, prioritizing quick wins and psychological momentum over pure mathematical efficiency.

How this calculator works

Each debt makes its minimum payment every month, while any extra payment you specify is directed entirely toward one debt at a time based on your chosen strategy, moving to the next debt once the current target is fully paid off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which strategy saves more money?

Avalanche typically saves more in total interest since it targets high-interest debt first, but Snowball can be more motivating for some people since it clears smaller debts faster.

Can I enter more than three debts?

This tool supports up to three debts at a time. For more debts, you can combine smaller balances into a single entry as an approximation.
