Debt Snowball Calculator

Model multiple debts with a locked smallest-starting-balance-first priority, monthly interest, and same-month payment rollover.

Enter two or more debts

Enter values and select Calculate.

Locked snowball priority

Debts are ordered once by starting balance, with input order breaking ties. Interest accrues monthly before payments. The original sum of minimums plus extra payment remains the monthly budget; freed and unused amounts cascade to the first unpaid debt in that locked order.

Model limits

The simulation caps every payment at the amount owed and stops after 1,200 months if payoff is not reached. Real issuers may use daily interest, fees, changing minimums, or other rules. This models the entered strategy and does not say it is optimal.
