What it does

A free debt payoff calculator. Enter your balance, APR, and monthly payment — it returns how long until the debt is gone and how much you’ll pay in total interest. Warns you if your monthly payment is too low to cover the interest (the trap that keeps people in debt forever).

Credit card debt at 22% APR is financial bleeding. A $5,000 balance at $100/month takes forever and costs thousands. Increase the monthly payment and watch both time and interest drop fast. Pair with our debt payoff guide.

How to use it

  1. Enter the current debt balance.
  2. Enter the APR (check your statement — often 18-25% on cards).
  3. Enter the monthly payment you can commit to.
  4. Read months to payoff, total paid, and total interest.
