See the exact date your debt is gone — no bank login, no data stored.
Three thousand at 25% is the quietly insulting balance. Small enough that any plan finishes it in months, large enough that the interest meter never quite stops running. Most $3,000 cards stay on the report for years not because the math is hard but because the urgency never appears — there is always something more pressing than $75 minimums on a balance that does not feel emergency-grade.
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 $3,000 at 25%, paying just the $75 minimum takes 65 months and costs $1,900 in interest — meaning the original $3,000 nearly doubles by the end. Adding $200/month extra cuts that to 12 months and $400 interest. Adding $500/month extra cuts to 7 months and $200 interest. Aggression compounds in your favor at this APR.
