Assumes a fixed APR, no new charges, and no fees. Paying only the minimum on high-APR debt can take decades. These estimates are educational and not personalized financial advice.

How this is calculated

We simulate month by month: each month's interest (balance × APR ÷ 12) is added, then your payment is subtracted, repeating until the balance hits zero.

Assumptions: A fixed APR, no new charges, no fees, and one payment per month.

Limitations: Variable rates, new spending or fees change the payoff date. If your payment does not cover the monthly interest, the debt never shrinks — the calculator tells you so.

A quick note: this calculator is for education only and isn't financial advice.
