Debts will be eliminated in this order based on your selected strategy.

Enter every debt you carry — credit cards, auto loans, student loans, lines of credit — along with each balance, annual percentage rate (APR), and minimum required payment. Set your total monthly budget and the planner instantly models two scenarios side by side.
Targets the highest-APR debt first while paying minimums on everything else. When that debt is gone, its freed-up payment rolls to the next highest rate. Mathematically optimal — minimizes total interest paid.
Targets the smallest balance first regardless of rate. Each eliminated account creates a psychological win and a growing payment that accelerates subsequent payoffs. Ideal when motivation is the primary obstacle.
The Payoff Timeline chart shows your total balance declining month by month — the dashed grey line is minimum-payments-only; the green line is your optimized strategy. The gap between them is your saved interest and reclaimed time.
Any payment above your combined minimums becomes extra firepower directed entirely at the target debt. Even an extra $50–$100/month can shave years off your payoff horizon and save thousands in interest.
