This calculator offers a sobering look at the financial cost of keeping debt a secret from a partner. It clearly illustrates how hidden balances grow over time and the exact toll that deferred interest takes on your shared savings goals. Keep in mind that the math assumes no minimum payments are made while the debt is hidden—in reality, ignoring a credit card for years would lead to default, but the core message about the cost of compounding interest remains spot on.
