How the credit card payoff calculator works
Every month each card is charged interest at APR / 12, and each gets its minimum payment. Whatever is left of your budget goes to one target card.
The avalanche method targets the highest APR first, which always costs the least interest. The snowball method targets the smallest balance first, which clears whole cards sooner and can keep you motivated. When a card is paid off, its payment rolls into the next one.
