Assumptions, worked example, and source
- The entered annual interest rate is treated as a nominal rate divided by 12, interest accrues monthly, no new purchases occur, and each minimum is a fixed amount rather than a lender-recalculated percentage. The rate excludes fees; any entered consolidation fee is financed separately.
- Snowball targets the lowest current balance; avalanche targets the highest entered annual interest rate. Both keep the same total monthly budget and roll freed payments to the next debt.
- Consolidation uses its own contractual payment for the entered term and finances the entered fee. It may have a different monthly outlay, so compare cash flow as well as total cost.
- No current lender rate or product recommendation is supplied. Eligibility, tax, credit-score effects, promotions, penalties, and changing minimums are outside this estimate.
- The default worked example uses three balances and one monthly budget. Replace every value with statement data; results are estimates, not credit or product advice.
