Loans & Debt

Loans & Debt

Every loan has a true cost hidden behind its monthly payment. These tools show the total interest you'll pay, how much extra payments save, and — when you're juggling several debts — which payoff order clears them fastest and cheapest.

Loan Calculator

Calculate the monthly payment, total interest, and payoff date for any personal, auto, or fixed-rate loan — and see how extra payments shorten it.

Auto Loan Calculator

Car payment with the real numbers: sales tax, fees, trade-in credit — even negative equity. See the monthly payment and the true total cost.

Car Affordability Calculator

How much car can you afford? Enter the monthly payment you're comfortable with, your down payment, rate, and term to see the car price it supports.

Car Depreciation Calculator

See what a car will be worth in a few years. Project its value as it depreciates and how much of your money the drop in value quietly costs.

Lease vs. Buy Car Calculator

Compare leasing a car against buying one over the same period — total out-of-pocket cost, the resale value you keep when buying, and which is cheaper.

Student Loan Calculator

Monthly student loan payment, total interest, and payoff date under standard repayment — plus how much extra payments accelerate your debt-free day.

APR Calculator

See a loan's true cost. Enter the rate, term, and upfront fees to get the real APR — the number that folds points and closing costs into one annual figure you can compare across offers.

Loan Comparison Calculator

Compare two loans side by side — monthly payment, total interest, and lifetime cost — to see which is genuinely cheaper, not just the lower payment.

Debt Consolidation Calculator

See whether consolidating your debts into one loan lowers your payment and total interest — compared against finishing your current debts as they are.

Debt Payoff Calculator — Snowball vs Avalanche

Enter up to three debts and compare the snowball and avalanche strategies head-to-head: payoff dates, total interest, and what the difference costs.
