Pay off your credit card debt faster

Chances are that if you have credit card debt, your main goal is to pay off this credit card debt in its entirety as quickly as possible. Easier said than done, right? As with most personal finance matters, formulating a basic plan and strategy is one key to success. The plan can be altered if new needs arise, but it is almost always beneficial to try to follow a thought-out, structured path.

Our Credit Card Roll-down Calculator applies two principles to paying off your credit card debt:
- Pay off your highest interest rate first.
- When that balance is paid, move on to the next highest interest rate.

These principles are simple but the process can get a little more complicated once you factor in multiple credit cards, each with it’s own balance, interest rate and required minimum payment. This calculator can help to simplify the entire payoff process and help you to formulate a structured repayment plan.
