Debt Pay Off Calculator for Calculating Payoff Goal Payment

Debt Pay Off Calculator Sign

This calculator will calculate the monthly payment required to pay off a given debt within the length of time you specify.

You can either: select the month and year of your payoff goal, or you can enter the number of months.

Plus, the debt payoff calculations will also tell you how much interest you will save by shortening the term of the loan.

Finally, the results include a comparison chart, a text summary, and an interest-cost comparison bar graph.

A Penny Saved ...

If you shorten the length of time to pay off a debt, you will also reduce the total interest charges you end up paying to your lender.

And when you reduce the interest charges, you are essentially increasing your spendable income by the amount saved. So who would you rather see earn that extra income, you? Or your lender?

Current principal balance owed:

Enter the amount you still owe on the debt, but without the dollar sign or any commas. Due to future interest charges that may or may not apply, the amount you owe cannot be arrived at by simply multiplying your payment amount by the number of payments remaining. You may need to call your lender and ask what the current payoff amount is.

Help and Tools

Adjust Calculator Width:

Move the slider to left and right to adjust the calculator width. Note that the Help and Tools panel will be hidden when the calculator is too wide to fit both on the screen. Moving the slider to the left will bring the instructions and tools panel back into view.

Also note that some calculators will reformat to accommodate the screen size as you make the calculator wider or narrower. If the calculator is narrow, columns of entry rows will be converted to a vertical entry form, whereas a wider calculator will display columns of entry rows, and the entry fields will be smaller in size ... since they will not need to be "thumb friendly".

Show/Hide Popup Keypads:

Select Show or Hide to show or hide the popup keypad icons located next to numeric entry fields. These are generally only needed for mobile devices that don't have decimal points in their numeric keypads. So if you are on a desktop, you may find the calculator to be more user-friendly and less cluttered without them.

Stick/Unstick Tools:

Select Stick or Unstick to stick or unstick the help and tools panel. Selecting "Stick" will keep the panel in view while scrolling the calculator vertically. If you find that annoying, select "Unstick" to keep the panel in a stationary position.

If the tools panel becomes "Unstuck" on its own, try clicking "Unstick" and then "Stick" to re-stick the panel.
