Understanding Credit Card Payoff Strategies

Avalanche vs. Snowball

Avalanche pays off highest interest first, saving money. Snowball pays off smallest balance first, providing motivation. Both help you become debt-free faster.

Tips for Success

  • Make extra payments when possible.
  • Avoid adding new debt while paying off cards.
  • Track your progress for motivation.

Key Formula

Monthly Interest:
Interest = Balance × (APR / 100) / 12
Payoff Time:
Months = log(Payment / (Payment - Balance × Monthly Rate)) / log(1 + Monthly Rate)
