Frequently Asked Questions
Is this debt calculator really free?
Yes, our Debt Pay-down Calculator is completely free to use. There are no hidden fees, registration requirements, or limitations. We believe financial education should be accessible to everyone.
How accurate are the calculations?
Our calculator uses standard amortization formulas to provide highly accurate projections. Results are based on the information you provide about your debt, interest rate, and payments. For variable-rate debts, results may vary if your interest rate changes.
What types of debt can I calculate?
This calculator works for any type of fixed-rate debt including credit cards, personal loans, student loans, auto loans, and other installment debts. It's not suitable for adjustable-rate mortgages or interest-only loans.
How often should I recalculate my payoff plan?
We recommend revisiting your plan whenever your financial situation changes - if you get a raise, pay off another debt, or if your interest rate changes. Even without changes, reviewing quarterly helps you stay on track.
Can I save my calculations?
Your calculations are stored in your browser's local storage, so they'll be available if you return to this page on the same device. For long-term saving, we recommend taking a screenshot or noting down your results.
