Debt payoff calculators help plan elimination of multiple debts using structured strategies. The two most popular are: Avalanche (highest interest rate first — mathematically optimal) and Snowball (smallest balance first — psychologically motivating).

- 2Avalanche: pay minimums on all, throw extra money at highest-rate debt first
- 3Snowball: pay minimums on all, throw extra money at lowest-balance debt first
- 4As each debt is paid off, roll that payment into the next target
