Why the Avalanche Saves More
Every month, a debt's interest is calculated on the remaining balance times the rate. Higher-rate debts cost you more per dollar of balance. By killing the highest-rate debt first, you cut the largest source of interest, then move to the next highest, and so on.
Avalanche vs. Snowball — For Your Debts
The exact savings depend on the gap between your highest and lowest rates. If all your debts are at similar rates, the difference is tiny. If you have one high-rate credit card alongside low-rate loans, avalanche can save thousands. The calculator above shows your real numbers.
