Free debt consolidation calculator comparing a new consolidation loan against paying off your current debts with the avalanche strategy — we checked calculator.net's debt consolidation calculator directly and it only compares consolidating against your current minimum-payment plan, never against the cheaper avalanche payoff order.
How it works
- List your current debts, one per line: name, balance, APR%, min payment
- Enter the consolidation loan's rate, term, and any fees/points
- See the total interest cost of the avalanche strategy on your current debts versus the consolidated loan's total interest plus fees
Frequently asked questions
Why compare against avalanche instead of my current minimum payments?
We checked calculator.net's debt consolidation calculator directly — it compares consolidating against your current plan, but never against simply reordering payments toward the highest-rate debt first (the avalanche method), which is usually cheaper than either. This tool gives you that more useful comparison.
Does this include consolidation loan fees?
Yes — enter a fee/points percentage and it's rolled into the loan amount you'd actually finance, not left out of the total cost comparison.
