Instead of staring at a pile of bills and feeling stuck, you can see exactly how much progress you'll make by next month or next year.

It helps you see exactly which card to target first to save the most money. **What is the difference between Avalanche and Snowball in this tool?** The Avalanche method focuses on the highest interest rates to save you money. The Snowball method focuses on the smallest balances first to give you quick psychological wins. **Can I see a month-by-month plan for my loans?** Yes, you can get a full projection that shows your balance dropping every single month. This helps you stay motivated by seeing your progress in real time. **How accurate is the debt-free date it gives me?** The date is mathematically precise based on the interest rates and payment amounts you provide. It gives you a realistic target rather than a best-case guess. **Can I compare different monthly budgets?** Absolutely. You can ask your agent to show you how your payoff date changes if you increase or decrease your monthly payment by different amounts. **Will this tell me which debt to pay first?** Yes, by comparing the two main strategies, it shows you which debt to prioritize based on either the highest interest rate or the smallest balance. **What is the difference between Avalanche and Snowball strategies?** The Avalanche strategy prioritizes debts with the highest interest rates to minimize total interest paid. The Snowball strategy focuses on paying off the smallest balances first to build psychological momentum through quick wins. **Can I use a custom monthly budget?** Yes, you can specify any monthly budget as long as it covers the sum of all your minimum monthly payments. If the budget is too low to cover minimums, the tool will return an error. **How do I see my progress over time?** You can use the `get_monthly_projection` tool to generate a month-by-month timeline showing how your total and individual debt balances decrease until they reach zero.
