Debt Snowball Calculator - if you want to use the debt snowball method
If you want to use the debt snowball method, there are a lot of calculator's out there. Dave Ramsey’s calculator is my favorite.
It's very simple to use. It will show you your debt payoff date. It lets you add in extra monthly payments to see how much faster you can pay off your debt.
It doesn't let you add in extra 1-time payments (like a bonus or tax refund).
Calculator.net - if you want to use the debt avalanche method
It's very simple to use. It lets you add in extra monthly payments, extra yearly, and extra 1-time payments. This is great if you get a bonus, sell something, etc...
It tells you how long it will take to pay off your debt, but doesn't give you an exact date.
