Compare the avalanche and snowball methods to see how fast you can become debt-free and how much interest you will save.

The Debt Payoff Calculator compares two popular strategies for paying off multiple debts — the avalanche method (paying extra toward the highest-interest debt first, which minimizes total interest paid) and the snowball method (paying extra toward the smallest balance first, which builds psychological momentum through quicker wins) — showing the payoff date and total interest for each approach.
Mathematically, the avalanche method almost always saves more money in total interest since it targets the most expensive debt first. The snowball method can save less in pure interest terms but is popular because clearing a small debt entirely, quickly, tends to keep people motivated to stick with a payoff plan rather than giving up partway through.
The avalanche method (highest interest rate first) almost always results in less total interest paid, since it eliminates your most expensive debt fastest. The snowball method (smallest balance first) can cost slightly more in interest but is often easier to stick with due to faster visible progress.
This is a personal finance trade-off that generally depends on the interest rate of the debt versus expected investment returns — high-interest debt (like credit cards) is usually worth paying off first, since guaranteed interest savings often exceed typical investment returns, but this calculator focuses on payoff strategy, not that broader decision.
