Outstanding Debt Calculator
It’s hard to plan where you are going when you don’t know where you are. This information is the starting point on your map to financial health.
How much do you owe?
You may need to check your credit card and other loan statements for information on your outstanding debt. It’s very possible you’ve never looked at all this different information at one time. It may seem a little overwhelming. Be assured that it’s necessary to create a plan of action.
Once you’ve gathered your information, enter it into the calculator. For each credit card, auto loan or consumer loan enter your outstanding balance, the current interest rate and the minimum monthly payment.
When you’ve finished plugging in your information, hit the “enter data” button. The graph on the right let’s you toggle between two views:
- How long it will take to payoff the debt under your current creditors
- The total interest you will pay to your current creditors in paying off these debts
The “view report” button also details debt payoff information

Debt Payoff Calculator Shows How You Can Pay Debts Faster
This Debt Payoff Calendar is an easy way to see how quickly you can pay down your debt. You simply plug in your numbers. You can even try using different loan and payment amounts to see how it impacts your debt payoff schedule.
Debt Payoff Calculator
Enter current debt balances
You begin by filling in your existing:
- debt balances
- interest rates
- monthly payment information
The calculator will show totals for each.
Calculate New Loan information
This section of the calculator gives you a chance to see how a debt consolidation loan will impact your budget. It lets you see how many months it would take to pay off the existing debt at existing rates and terms. Then it shows how quickly that same debt will be paid with a consolidation loan. And, it shows how extra principal payments make an even bigger difference.
For instance, for a $5000 outstanding balance, here’s how the numbers stack up.
- With an average of 18% interest and $200 in minimum monthly payments, a balance of $5,000 will take 155 months, or more than 12 years to payoff.
- With a consolidation loan of $5000 at 11% interest and $95 per month payments, that same debt will be paid off in 6 years, or half the time.
- You can pay off the debt even faster, by adding the $105 difference between your old payment and your new payment to the principal of the new loan. By adding a $105 principal payment to your minimum $95 payment, that $5000 will be paid off in just 29 months, just under 2 and a half years.
You can plug in different numbers to see how it makes a difference in paying off your debt. The View Report link shows a comparison of the three loan scenarios.
