💡 Tip: Paying an extra $50/month could save hundreds in interest. Try increasing your payment above.

Pay minimums on all debts, then throw extra money at the highest-rate debt first. Mathematically optimal — saves the most interest.

Pay minimums on all debts, then attack the smallest balance first. Each payoff builds momentum. Costs a little more but feels rewarding.

Even an extra $25–$50/month can cut months or years off your payoff timeline and save hundreds in interest. Every extra dollar counts.

Moving high-interest debt to a 0% APR promotional card (12–21 months) can eliminate interest temporarily. Watch for 3–5% transfer fees.
