What is the Debt Avalanche Calculator?
The Debt Avalanche Calculator creates a mathematically optimal debt payoff schedule by prioritizing debts with the highest interest rate first.
While paying minimums on all debts, every extra dollar is targeted at your highest-APR debt (like high-interest credit cards). This minimizes total interest paid and gets you out of debt in the shortest total time.
How Does the Debt Avalanche Calculator Work?
1. Input Your Debts â Balance, interest rate (%), and minimum monthly payment.
2. Set Extra Monthly Payoff â Amount above minimum payments you can apply each month.
3. View Avalanche Schedule â Debts ordered highest APR first, total interest saved vs minimum payments, and debt-free date.
Formula & Calculation Method
$$\text{Target Debt} = \arg\max_{\text{debt}} (\text{Interest Rate})$$
Example Calculation
Example: High-APR Credit Card vs Low-APR Car Loan
- Card A: $4,000 @ 24% APR -> Target #1 (Saves thousands in compound interest!)
- Loan B: $8,000 @ 6% APR -> Minimum payment until Card A is eliminated.
