Credit Card Debt Payoff Calculator
This calculator lets you figure out how much money you can save, and how much sooner you will pay off your debt, as you change how much you are paying each month. You can enter a monthly amount to pay or select to pay the minimum amount. You can also add one-time payments in certain months (like in that month you plan on winning the lottery).

Credit Card Debt Payoff Calculator
Simple Setup...
This is the simplest calculator to use - but it provides tremendous value!
Start by entering the name of your credit card account and the MONTHLY amount you expect to pay.
Enter the Current Balance Owed, the Interest Rate and first monthly payment. The other monthly payments will use the monthly amount above if you entered it.
Enter any ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS you plan to make to see how that might impact your interest paid and the final payoff date (assuming you stop buying stuff!!).
Calculated Results...
The main power of this calculator is both in the calculation of the final answer (total paid amount including interest) and the calculation of the time needed to pay it off. This is presented at the top of the calculator in an easy to understand visual display as shown in the image here.
The Full Payment Schedule...
The secondary power of this calculator is the ability to see your complete payment schedule through the time the credit card is paid off. You can use this table to understand all your charges, and to try out different pay off scenarios by adding extra payments at any payment date.
