Debt Payoff Calculator
Find out how long it will take to clear a debt and how much interest it will cost. Enter the current balance, the annual interest rate and the fixed amount you plan to pay each month, and the calculator works through the balance month by month to show the number of months until you are debt free, the payoff date and the total interest you will pay along the way. It also warns you if your chosen payment is too small to ever cover the monthly interest, which is the trap that keeps balances growing forever. Nudging the monthly payment up even a little often shortens the timeline dramatically, and you can test that here instantly. All calculations run locally in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
How does it find the months to clear a balance?
It applies your monthly interest to the balance, subtracts your fixed payment each month, and counts how many months bring the balance to zero.
What if my payment is too small?
If the fixed payment does not cover the monthly interest, the balance never falls. The calculator flags that the payment must be higher than the interest charge.
How much total interest will I pay?
It sums the interest charged each month over the payoff period and shows that as the total interest paid.
