HOW TO USE

  1. 1

    Single card mode: enter your outstanding balance, annual interest rate (check your card statement — typically 36–42%), and minimum payment percentage. See minimum-only timeline vs fixed monthly payment.

  2. 2

    Set a fixed monthly payment and see instantly: how many months to pay off, total interest paid, and how much you save vs minimum-only payments.

  3. 3

    Use the "Pay off by" targets to find exactly how much you need to pay monthly to clear the debt in 6, 12, or 24 months.

  4. 4

    Multi-card mode: add up to 4 cards with different balances and rates. Set your total monthly budget and compare Avalanche (highest rate first) vs Snowball (lowest balance first) strategies.

WORKED EXAMPLE

Rahul has a Rs 50,000 credit card balance at 36% p.a. If he pays only the 5% minimum each month: it takes 111 months (9 years 3 months) and costs Rs 65,499 in interest. If he pays a fixed Rs 3,000/month instead: paid off in 24 months with Rs 20,360 in interest — saving Rs 45,139 and 87 months. To pay off in exactly 12 months: he needs to pay Rs 5,023/month.
