Avalanche vs snowball

Avalanche targets the debt with the highest APR first while paying minimums on the rest, then rolls that payment into the next. It minimizes total interest. Snowball targets the smallest balance first for quick wins and psychological momentum. Use the chart and tables to see which fits your situation.
