Compare your current debts versus a consolidation loan. See if consolidating can save you money, calculate your break-even timeline, and compare amortization schedules side-by-side.
Our Debt Consolidation Calculator helps you determine whether consolidating your existing debts into a single loan is the right financial move. Here's how to use it:
Example: If you have $15,000 in credit card debt at 22% APR with $400 minimum payment, and you consolidate into a 5-year loan at 8.5%, you could save over $6,000 in interest and reduce your monthly payment to $308.
Add as many debts as you need with support for different balances, rates, and minimum payments.
Compare your current debts vs. the consolidation loan in a clear, visual layout.
See exactly how much you could save in monthly payments and total interest over the loan term.
Know how many months it takes to recoup any consolidation fees and start truly saving.
View detailed year-by-year breakdowns of principal and interest for both scenarios.
Get a clear recommendation โ green for consolidation, red for staying put, yellow for borderline cases.
This calculates the combined effective interest rate across all your current debts, weighted by each debt's balance.
This is the total interest you'd pay on your current debts (at minimum payments) minus the interest on the consolidated loan.
The number of months needed for the monthly savings to offset the upfront fees of the consolidation loan.
Shop around with different lenders. Rates can vary significantly based on your credit score and the lender's terms.
A higher credit score (700+) qualifies you for the best consolidation rates. Check your score before applying.
Watch for origination fees, balance transfer fees, and prepayment penalties. These can eat into your savings.
A longer term lowers monthly payments but increases total interest paid. Find the right balance for your budget.
Don't rack up new debt after consolidating. Close or freeze accounts to avoid falling back into the cycle.
Set up automatic payments to ensure you never miss a due date and protect your credit score.
Any extra payment goes directly to principal, reducing total interest and speeding up payoff.
Use our amortization schedule to watch your balance decrease and stay motivated on your debt-free journey.

Compare total cost, monthly payments, interest savings, and payoff timelines side-by-side.
Know exactly how long it takes for consolidation savings to outweigh the fees.
