What this means for your plan

Plain-English trade-offs to help you decide with confidence.

  • High-interest debt is the priority

    Until high-APR balances are cleared, returns from investing rarely outpace the cost of carrying the debt.

  • Snowball vs. avalanche

    Avalanche (highest rate first) saves the most money. Snowball (smallest balance first) builds momentum faster. Both work — pick the one you'll stick with.

How it works

M = P · r / (1 − (1+r)^−n)

The loan calculator uses a standard formula refined for clarity and precision. Results update live as you change any input — try different scenarios to see how sensitive the answer is to each assumption.

Tips for accurate results

  • Use realistic, current values — don't round aggressively for inputs that matter.
  • Compare a few scenarios to see how sensitive the result is to your assumptions.
  • Save your results so you can track changes over time as your situation evolves.
