Debt Snowball Calculator

The debt snowball method is a popular repayment strategy where you focus extra payments on your smallest debt first while making minimum payments on all others. Once the smallest is paid off, you redirect all toward the next smallest, creating a snowball effect.

Snowball vs Avalanche Method

The snowball method targets the smallest balance first for psychological wins, while the avalanche method targets the highest interest rate for maximum savings. Both are effective.

How Extra Payments Make a Difference

Even modest extra payments can dramatically impact your payoff timeline. Adding 1,000 kr per month can save thousands in interest and make you debt-free years earlier.
