How the debt snowball works
The simplest debt payoff method — small wins build momentum until your biggest debts disappear too.
List your debts
Smallest balance first. Ignore the interest rate for now.
Pay minimums everywhere
Stay current on every account. No late fees.
Attack the smallest
Throw every extra dollar at the smallest balance.
Roll the payment
When it's gone, add its payment to the next smallest.
Build momentum
Each debt falls faster than the one before.
Be debt-free
Most users see a finish line within 2–4 years.
Frequently asked
Is the debt snowball calculator really free?⌄
Yes. Every feature — calculator, snowball/avalanche comparison, saved plans, CSV, Excel, and PDF export — is 100% free with no signup.
Where is my data stored?⌄
Entirely in your browser. We never see your debt details. Saved plans live in your browser's local storage and never leave your device.
Snowball or avalanche — which should I use?⌄
Snowball (smallest balance first) wins for most people because the quick wins keep you motivated. Avalanche (highest APR first) saves more money if you'll definitely finish. The calculator above shows both at once so you can compare.
