Avalanche

Pay minimums on everything, then put extra toward the highest-interest-rate balance first. Mathematically minimizes total interest paid over time.

Snowball

Pay minimums on everything, then put extra toward the smallest balance first. Clears individual debts faster, which some people find easier to stick with.

Side-by-side comparison

FinSight runs both strategies against your actual balances, APRs, and minimum payments and shows the projected payoff timeline and total interest for each — so the tradeoff is a real number, not a guess.

Built from your accounts, not a generic calculator

Enter (or connect) each loan, credit card, and its balance, APR, and minimum payment, plus any extra amount you can put toward payoff each month. FinSight projects a month-by-month payoff timeline for both strategies so you can see exactly how much sooner you'd be debt-free, and how much interest each approach actually costs.

This is educational information, not financial advice — the right strategy also depends on things a calculator can't see, like which approach you'll actually stick with.
