Question 1

Do I need an account to use the calculator?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A free account saves your debts and progress across sessions and devices. It takes a few seconds and never needs a credit card.

Question 2

Avalanche vs. snowball — what's the difference?

Accepted Answer

The avalanche method attacks your highest-interest debt first, which mathematically saves you the most money. The snowball method clears your smallest balance first for a quick, motivating win. The calculator shows both so you can pick the one you'll actually stick with.

Question 3

What is the extra payment?

Accepted Answer

Anything you pay beyond the minimums each month. It's the single biggest lever on your debt-free date — as each debt is cleared, its payment rolls onto the next, so the extra compounds your progress.

Question 4

How accurate is the date?

Accepted Answer

It's an estimate assuming fixed payments, fixed rates, and no new borrowing. Real life varies, but it's an honest, motivating target — and seeing the date is what makes people act.

Question 5

What happens after I'm debt-free?

Accepted Answer

The payment you were sending to debt frees up entirely. Redirect it to investing and the same discipline that killed your debt starts building wealth — the exact system taught in the Build Real Wealth course.
