Debt Avalanche to Pay Off Your Debts Fast
Debt Avalanche V Debt Snowball
The Debt Avalanche is a debt repayment strategy focused on minimizing interest costs by paying off debts from highest to lowest interest rate, regardless of the balance.
It’s mathematically the most efficient method for getting out of debt faster and paying less interest overall, but it may require more discipline because results aren’t always immediate.
🔺 How the Debt Avalanche Works
- Make minimum payments on all debts.
- Apply any extra money to the debt with the highest interest rate.
- Once the highest-interest debt is paid off, roll that payment into the next highest.
- Repeat until you're debt-free.
The Debt Debt Avalanche Example
2 Steps to Success with the Debt Avalanche
| Debt | Balance | Interest Rate | Minimum Payment |
| Credit Card A | $1,000 | 22% | $40 |
| Auto Loan | $7,000 | 6% | $300 |
| Student Loan | $15,000 | 4% | $200 |
Step 1: Pay extra toward Credit Card A (22%) while making minimum payments on the auto loan and student loan.
Step 2: Once Credit Card A is paid off, apply that freed-up money toward the auto loan (6%), then onto the student loan (4%).
✅ Benefits of the Avalanche Method
-
Pays off debt faster (in many cases).
- Saves more money in interest.
- Most efficient from a math perspective.
⚠️ Potential Downsides

Not as emotionally rewarding as the Debt Snowball, which gives you quick wins.
