Debt Payoff Strategies Explained

Aggressive Method

Pay minimums on all debts, then distribute extra payments proportionally across all debts based on their remaining balances. Often the most mathematically optimal approach.

Avalanche Method

Pay minimums on all debts, then put extra money toward the debt with the highest interest rate. This saves the most money on interest over time.

Snowball Method

Pay minimums on all debts, then put extra money toward the debt with the smallest balance. This provides quick psychological wins and motivation to continue.

Minimum Only

Pay only the minimum required payment on each debt. This is the baseline approach that shows the cost of not paying extra.
