Getting Out of Credit Card Debt

Credit card debt is one of the most expensive forms of borrowing, with average interest rates around 20% APR. This calculator shows you exactly how long it will take to pay off your balance and how much interest you'll pay. Even small increases in your monthly payment can dramatically reduce your payoff time.

Strategies to Pay Off Credit Card Debt Faster

  • Pay More Than the Minimum: Minimum payments mostly cover interest, keeping you in debt for decades.
  • Avalanche Method: Pay off the highest-interest card first to minimize total interest.
  • Snowball Method: Pay off the smallest balance first for quick psychological wins.
  • Balance Transfer: Move debt to a 0% APR card to pause interest accumulation.
