Where Your Money Goes

Principal includes new charges incurred until each plan clears the balance. Faster payoff also ends those modeled charges sooner.

Balance Over Time

Each line reaches zero on its payoff month. The gap shows time saved.

How it works›

Monthly model. New charges are added before monthly interest, followed by the payment. Charges stop when the balance is repaid. This fixed-APR model excludes daily accrual, grace periods, variable minimum payments and promotional rates. The projection is capped at 1,200 months; charts are capped at 600.
