Before you spend that freed-up debt payment, run your numbers. The Debt Reduction Planner is a free spreadsheet that helps you estimate payoff times with and without rolling payments forward.

Paid off a debt? Use the muscle memory of paying this amount and give this payment a new job. Watch how rolling paid-off payments to the next balance changes your payoff estimates and reduces the total amount paid on a loan or credit card.
