Track all your debts in one place and create a payoff plan using the snowball method, a strategy that can help you pay off debt faster while paying less interest overall. The debt Widget in Money Management can help you become debt-free faster while saving money long term on interest payments. 

Snowball Method 

The snowball method helps you pay off debt faster without increasing your monthly payments. As you fully repay a debt, you apply that payment to the next one, gradually increasing contributions without adjusting your monthly debt payments. 

Debt Payoff Strategy 

Choose a payoff strategy that fits your situation: 

  • Fastest payoff first – Pays off debts in the shortest time (standard snowball method). 
  • Highest interest first – Saves the most money over time (avalanche method). 
  • Lowest balance first – Pays off the smallest debts first. 
  • Highest balance first – Pays off the largest debts first. 

To update your priority: 

  1. Select the dropdown menu at the top. 
  1. Choose one of the four options—the chart updates automatically. 

Debt Chart 

The chart shows your payoff progress: 

  • The dotted line represents your timeline with minimum payments. 
  • The colored bars show the snowball method’s impact. 
  • The right panel displays your estimated payoff date and savings. 

To see your projected debt at a future date, hover over the timeline.
