About the Debt Snowball Method

The debt snowball method is a debt reduction strategy where you pay off debts in order of smallest to largest, gaining momentum as you knock out each balance.

  • List your debts from smallest to largest
  • Make minimum payments on all debts except the smallest
  • Pay as much as possible on your smallest debt
  • Once a debt is paid off, roll that payment into the next smallest debt

How to Use the Calculator

Enter your monthly payment available and list your debts. The calculator will show you the repayment schedule and other details.

Make monthly payments on all debts except the smallest. Once a debt is paid off, roll that payment into the next smallest debt.

Repeat this process until all debts are paid off.

Example

Let's say you have the following debts:

  • Car Loan: ₹12,000 with an interest rate of 10%
  • Personal Loan: ₹8,000 with an interest rate of 12%
  • Home Loan: ₹20,000 with an interest rate of 8%

With a monthly payment of ₹5,000, the repayment schedule would be:

  • Car Loan: ₹1,200
  • Personal Loan: ₹1,600
  • Home Loan: ₹2,000
  • Car Loan: ₹1,200
  • Personal Loan: ₹1,600
  • Home Loan: ₹2,000
  • Car Loan: ₹1,200
  • Personal Loan: ₹1,600
  • Home Loan: ₹2,000
  • Car Loan: ₹1,200
  • Personal Loan: ₹1,600

After 12 months, all debts would be paid off.
