How can I retire debt faster?

Analyze how to retire debt faster by determining what your payment is now and then how you can make additional payments to accelerate payoff. You can calculate how long it will take to pay off your highest interest rate debt or the smallest debt amount first. Then reapply the amount you HAD been paying for that first debt to the next highest debt, and so on. You'll soon create an accelerating snowball effect that retires your debt faster.

  1. Determine what your total debt payment is now–enter in all debt balances, minimum payments, actual payments and interest rates.
  2. Increase the amount of your payment on your highest rate debt (or your lowest total debt–if that's what you've chosen to do) and enter at least the minimum on all other debts.
  3. Once the first debt is paid off, continue to budget the same amount monthly and make accelerated payments to the next debt, and so on.

The calculator will sort the debts for you when completing the analysis. You can also enter any extra amount to the total payment to accelerate debt payoff even further.
