What this estimate assumes

  • One debt is modelled at a fixed nominal annual rate divided by 12. Interest is charged before each month-end payment.
  • The entered monthly payment and extra payment remain constant. No new borrowing, fees or rate changes are included; the final payment is limited to the balance due.
  • The model stops at repayment, when payments make no progress, or after 600 months. Failure to clear is reported rather than shown as a debt-free date.

For information only, not financial advice. These simplified estimates do not consider your full circumstances. Assumed rates are not forecasts or guaranteed returns. Talk to a financial adviser before making financial decisions.
