How the Debt Payoff Planner works

This planner simulates month-by-month amortisation on your outstanding balance. It compares paying only the minimum versus adding an extra amount each month, showing how much interest you save and how many months you shave off.

Monthly interest = Balance × (APR / 12 / 100)
Principal paid = Payment − Interest  •  Repeats until balance reaches zero

If your minimum payment does not cover monthly interest, the debt will never be paid off - increase your payment amount.

Understand the result

What the Debt Payoff Planner tells you

This calculator helps you compare payoff time and interest when you add extra money to a debt. It turns a small set of inputs into a clear payoff timeline, then shows the supporting breakdown so you can understand what moved the answer.

Inputs to check

  • Current balance: use a recent statement, quote or realistic assumption.
  • Interest rate: use a recent statement, quote or realistic assumption.
  • Payment and extra amount: use a recent statement, quote or realistic assumption.

Try three scenarios

Run a likely case, a conservative case and a better case. Change one input at a time so you can see which assumption matters most.

How to use this estimate in a real decision

Write down the values you entered and the date you checked them. Compare options using the same assumptions, then include any fee, tax, penalty or provider rule that sits outside the calculator. A mathematically precise answer can still be incomplete when the inputs are old or optimistic.

Treat the result as a planning range, not a quote, approval or guaranteed outcome. Recalculate whenever your rate, price, income, goal date or business cost changes.

Frequently asked questions

You clear the smallest balance first while paying minimums on others, then roll freed cash to the next debt. Quick wins can motivate behaviour even if math favours another order.
You target the highest interest rate debt first. This minimises total interest paid over time if you stick to the plan.
Almost always attack high-interest unsecured debt like credit cards before low-rate home loans, unless you need home loan tax benefit under old regime and have surplus only for prepayment.
Every extra rupee above the EMI cuts principal faster and saves interest. Enter an additional amount in the planner to see months saved.
A lower rate for a promo period can help if you pay off within that window. Transfer fees and post-promo rates matter. See our balance transfer tool too.
Score may dip slightly when a well-paid account closes, but reducing debt is usually positive long term. Avoid missed EMIs above all.
No. It models payoff paths on numbers you enter. For distress or legal issues, speak to a qualified counsellor or CA.
