Why the Snowball Works
Personal finance is 80% behavior and 20% math. The snowball method is built around that truth. By eliminating your smallest debts first, you score quick, visible wins. Each debt you knock out releases a payment you can roll into the next debt, creating a "snowball" of momentum that becomes harder to stop.
When Snowball Beats Avalanche
If you've started and stopped paying off debt before, snowball is almost always the better choice. The motivation from early wins is worth more than a few hundred dollars in extra interest. Use the calculator above to see exactly when each debt disappears.
