A 300% APR payday loan is not a debt. It is a financial fire. Three thousand five hundred dollars at 300% accrues roughly $875 in interest every month if left unpaid. The rollover fees compound. Most payday borrowers pay the loan off three or four times in fees before the principal touches zero. The lender is not surprised by this. The product is engineered for it.
With one debt the method choice disappears. Snowball and Avalanche become the same instruction: pay the minimum every month and send every spare dollar to this balance. The only variable is how much extra you can send. The calculator below shows you exactly when this balance hits zero — and what each extra $50 per month does to that date.
On $3,500 at 300% APR with $400/month payments (typical of a rollover-trapped borrower), the math diverges — interest accrues faster than payments reduce principal. Adding $200/month extra ($600 total) finishes the loan in roughly 11 months at $1,800 in fees. Adding $400/month extra ($800 total) finishes in 6 months at $1,000 in fees. Aggression compounds in your favor at this APR.
