Frequently asked questions

Snowball or avalanche — which should I use?+

Avalanche (highest interest rate first) saves more money mathematically. Snowball (smallest balance first) tends to keep people motivated because they clear a full debt sooner. If you're confident you'll stay consistent regardless, avalanche wins on cost; if past attempts have stalled, snowball's quick wins may matter more than the extra interest.

What if I have more than three debts?+

Combine your smallest debts into one slot by adding their balances together and using a blended average rate, or work through them in two passes — clear your smallest few first with this calculator, then re-run it with your remaining debts.

Does this account for changing interest rates?+

No — it assumes each debt's rate stays constant for the full payoff period. If you have a variable-rate card or loan, treat the result as an estimate that may shift if rates change.
