FAQs

Should debts be entered by balance or rate?

For snowball, enter smallest balance first. Avalanche prioritises highest rate.

Does the snowball method minimise total interest paid?

Not always. Paying the highest-interest debt first (avalanche method) usually saves more interest; snowball prioritises quick wins for motivation instead.
