How these estimates workPayment rules, limits and sources.

The current-payment baseline keeps the entered dollar payment on each debt, with no rollover. The three extra-payment plans maintain the same total payment budget, including freed payments. Interest is added monthly at annual rate ÷ 12; final payments are capped. Rates stay constant, there are no new charges, and the model ends at 600 months.

The credit-line scenario uses separate user-entered terms and a 30/360 daily-balance approximation. It includes financed setup costs and monthly sweep fees. Total spent counts debt principal plus financing costs; it does not count money borrowed back for living costs as new debt principal again. A payoff is shown only when the modeled balance is cleared.

The separate balance-transfer comparison uses one selected debt and the same explicitly allocated payment on both paths. It includes the entered promotional period, regular rate afterward, financed fee and remaining original balance. Its monthly interest is rounded to cents. Its saved plan preserves inputs; recalculate to review the results.

No result establishes affordability, credit eligibility or a lender’s actual payment schedule. Changing minimum-payment formulas and future rate changes beyond the entered promotional transition need separate review.
