Snowball vs. Avalanche
The Avalanche Method generally results in less interest paid and a faster overall payoff by targeting debts with the highest interest rates first.
The Snowball Method targets the smallest balances first, which may cost more in interest but can provide a sense of accomplishment as debts are eliminated.
Research and personal experience suggest that these early victories can help some people stay committed to their debt repayment goals.

Results are estimates and may differ from your actual debt repayment experience. Always verify payment amounts, interest rates, and payoff information with your lender before making financial decisions.
Investing for the Future

Important: This calculator is intended to illustrate how investments may grow over time under certain assumptions. Actual returns are not guaranteed and may be higher or lower than the estimates shown. Always consult a qualified financial professional before making investment decisions.
