When Will I Be Debt-Free? Calculator

When will I be debt free calculator — payoff timeline visualization, Luke’s Picks

Find Your Debt-Free Date

Enter each debt (balance, APR, and minimum payment), then add an optional extra monthly amount or one-time lump sum. Choose Avalanche (highest APR first) or Snowball (smallest balance first). We’ll estimate your payoff date, months to debt-free, total interest, and interest saved vs. paying minimums only.

Debt Inputs

Avalanche minimizes interest. Snowball can feel more motivating.
We’ll assume payments occur monthly from this month forward.
Applied on top of all minimums, directed by your chosen strategy.
Optional annual increase to your extra monthly amount (e.g., raises, bonuses).
Optional windfall applied at the chosen date below.

Your Debts

Add each account you plan to pay off (credit cards, personal loans, auto loans, student loans, etc.). Minimums should be realistic current required payments.

Name Balance ($) APR (%) Minimum ($/mo)
Tip: For credit cards, minimums often equal a percentage or a floor (e.g., 2% or $25) — enter your current billed minimum.
