Debt payoff: snowball vs avalanche

Two strategies for escaping multiple debts — timeline and interest simulation

Your debts

Snowball (smallest first)

41 mo85,701 ₴ interest

Card → Consumer → Car

Avalanche (highest rate first)

41 mo85,701 ₴ interest

Card → Consumer → Car

Strategy difference: 0 ₴, 0 mo

'Avalanche' (highest rate first) is mathematically always cheaper or equal. 'Snowball' (smallest first) gives quick wins and motivation — studies show people finish it more often. If the interest difference is small, pick snowball.

Simulation is capped at 50 years; with too-small payments a debt may never amortize.
