Frequently Asked Questions
Is this debt payoff calculator completely free?
Yes, this tool on Forgenos is 100% free. No signup, no subscription, no hidden fees. We believe financial freedom tools should not cost money.
What is the difference between Avalanche and Snowball?
The Avalanche method mathematically prioritizes your highest interest rate debts first. This saves the absolute most money over time. The Snowball method prioritizes your smallest balance first, regardless of interest. This provides quick psychological wins that research shows helps people stay motivated.
Is my financial data safe?
Absolutely. This application runs entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. No databases, no APIs, no tracking. If you close the tab, your data disappears forever.
What happens if I enter $0 for a minimum payment?
If a debt has a $0 minimum payment, the interest will still accumulate, causing negative amortization (your balance goes up). The tool handles this math correctly but warns you about the financial danger.
