This view compares the avalanche and snowball debt payoff methods to help you choose the best strategy. As a remix, it doesn't have much over the original [Debt avalanche or snowball?](/heyfinfam/views/debt-avalanche-vs-snowball), but it provides a helpful new default scenario for a $25,000 debt load. The math is solid, but keep in mind that the calculator doesn't automatically sort your debts—you must enter them exactly into the "High-Rate," "Largest," and "Smallest" buckets as labeled for the comparisons to be accurate. You'll also want to ensure your entered monthly budget is higher than your combined minimum payments, or the total cost estimates will be understated.
