Avalanche strategy
27 months · 1,751 total interest
Snowball strategy
28 months · 1,920 total interest
Avalanche pays off the highest-interest debt first and minimizes total interest paid. Snowball pays off the smallest balance first for faster early wins and motivation, usually at a slightly higher total interest cost.

Debt Payoff Calculator simulates paying off multiple debts (business credit cards, loans, lines of credit) using either the avalanche strategy (highest interest rate first, minimizing total interest paid) or the snowball strategy (smallest balance first, for faster early wins), given an extra monthly payment amount beyond minimums, and reports months to debt-free and total interest paid for both strategies side by side.
