Note
This projection applies the displayed standard formula to the costs and rates you entered and assumes they repeat, unchanged, every single period. Real households do not work that way: prices, incomes, interest rates and family circumstances all move, and a single unplanned event can outweigh years of the schedule below. The model ignores taxes, fees, benefits, grants and anything you did not enter, and costs of this kind vary enormously from one country to another. Treat the figures as an illustration of the arithmetic, not a forecast or financial advice, and consult a licensed adviser before acting on any of them.

How does the calculator combine multiple debts into one payoff date?+
It takes the balance, rate, and minimum payment for each debt you list, applies your chosen strategy (avalanche or snowball) to any extra payment amount, and projects forward month by month until every balance reaches zero.
Why does adding a small extra payment shrink the date by more than expected?+
As each debt is paid off, its former payment gets redirected to the next one (the 'snowball' effect), so the impact of an early extra payment compounds across the whole debt list rather than just the one loan it's applied to.
Does the order I pay off debts affect the final debt-free date?+
For a fixed total extra payment amount, avalanche (highest rate first) reaches debt-free fastest and cheapest in interest, but the difference versus snowball (smallest balance first) is often only a few months — the psychological benefit of snowball may be worth that small cost.
What happens to the date if I miss a payment or add a new debt?+
Missing payments or adding new debt both push the projected date later, since the calculator assumes consistent payments toward the plan — re-run it whenever your situation changes to keep the projection accurate.
Is the debt-free date realistic if my income might change?+
It's a projection based on current inputs held constant, so treat it as a baseline — a raise, job loss, or new expense will shift the actual date, and it's worth re-checking the calculator periodically as circumstances change.
