🏠 Should I pay my debt deal or property tax first?

This view is unlisted — only visible via link.

👋 Overview

You have a $30,000 credit card debt reduced to $12,000 through a settlement, but you must hit strict payment deadlines. At the same time, a $4,300 property tax bill is due. Missing the debt payment voids the settlement, costing you $18,000 in forgiven debt. Missing the property tax incurs penalties. This calculator compares the cost of missing either deadline so you can prioritize your limited cash.

💳 Debt Settlement Deal

Enter the details of your credit card settlement. If you miss a payment, the deal is voided and the original balance is restored.
