How it works

List your debts with balances and rates, then compare two strategies side by side: avalanche (highest interest first, mathematically cheapest) and snowball (smallest balance first, psychologically easier). Both payoff dates and total interest are shown so the trade-off is explicit.

Common questions

Which method is better?

Avalanche costs less in interest. Snowball produces earlier wins and better adherence. The best method is the one you actually finish.

Does it handle minimum payments?

Yes — minimums are paid on everything, with the surplus directed by whichever strategy you choose.

Is my debt data uploaded?

No. It stays on your device.
