Your debts
Your minimum payments + extra don't cover the interest on at least one debt — that balance will keep growing. Increase a minimum payment, increase your extra, or check the APR you entered.
What about my mortgage?
Mortgages are intentionally excluded from this calculator. They're long-term, low-interest, and tax-advantaged — usually better to keep paying as scheduled and direct extra cash toward higher-rate consumer debt (or invest it). If you want to model paying yours off aggressively, add it manually with the + Add debt button, or use the dedicated Mortgage Analyzer instead.
