How this calculator works

Consolidation swaps several debts for one loan, usually hoping for a lower rate, one payment, or a faster finish.

The tool compares two routes:

If your present payment does not cover the monthly interest, that route never clears and the tool says so rather than forcing a number.

Rates are yours to enter; consolidation pricing follows credit history and the lender's terms.

Frequently asked questions

Does consolidating always save money?
No. A lower rate helps, but a longer term can lift total interest even as the payment drops. Put the two interest totals side by side before deciding.
What if my current payment is too small?
Then the balance never falls and that route has no payoff date. The tool reports the dead end instead of returning a misleading number.
Is a longer consolidation term cheaper?
It cuts the monthly payment but usually raises the total interest, because you pay for more months. A shorter term costs less overall but asks for more each month.
Which debts should I include?
Add the balances you plan to fold in and use the average APR across them. Debts with much higher rates pull that average upward.
