About Debt Consolidation Calculator

The Debt Consolidation Calculator analyzes multiple high-interest credit card and loan balances, comparing your current combined monthly payments and total interest against a single consolidated loan at a lower fixed rate.

Formula & Mathematical Calculation

Current Combined Monthly Payment = Sum ( Individual Debt Payments )

Consolidated Monthly Payment = Total Debt Balance × [ r_new (1 + r_new)^n ] / [ (1 + r_new)^n - 1 ]

Monthly Cash Flow Savings = Current Combined Payment - Consolidated Monthly Payment

Calculation Example

Consolidation Example ($25,000 Total Debt across 3 Credit Cards @ 22% APR, Min Payments = $750/mo): Consolidate into a 3-Year Personal Loan @ 10% APR → New Payment = $806.68/mo. Pays off 100% of debt in 36 months and saves $14,200 in interest!
