Debt Consolidation Calculator

List the debts you'd consolidate and the loan offer you're considering. We'll simulate both paths month by month and show the total cost of each — the only honest way to know whether consolidation saves you money.

Current path: total cost
Consolidation: total cost

Current path assumes you keep paying each debt's monthly payment as entered until it's gone. Consolidation cost includes the origination fee. Estimates for comparison only — your lender's disclosed terms govern.

What to do with the result

If consolidation wins, the discipline that makes it stick is in our full consolidation guide — especially the section on the three ways it backfires. If the numbers are close or consolidation loses, a nonprofit debt management plan often beats both paths for scores under 600; that comparison is in the same guide. Either way, prequalify with several lenders before you accept anything — the APR you enter here is negotiable in practice.
