The 5 Debt Payoff Strategies

DebtRiot runs all five simultaneously - switch between them to see the difference in timeline and total interest in real time.

Avalanche

Saves Most Interest

Pays off the debt with the highest interest rate first, regardless of balance. Mathematically, this costs you the least in estimated interest over the full repayment period. Once the highest-rate debt is cleared, the freed-up payment rolls into the next highest rate.

Best for: People motivated by saving money, comfortable with a longer wait before the first debt clears.

Snowball

Quick Wins

Pays off the smallest balance first, regardless of interest rate. You eliminate individual debts quickly, building momentum and motivation. May cost slightly more in total interest than Avalanche, but many people find it easier to stick with.

Best for: People who need early wins to stay motivated, or who have several small debts to clear.

Hybrid: Snowball → Avalanche

Balanced

Starts with the Snowball method to clear your first 1–3 debts for quick wins, then switches to Avalanche for the remaining debts to minimise interest. You choose how many debts to clear before switching. Combines motivation with maths.

Best for: People who want early momentum but don't want to leave high-interest debts running longer than necessary.

Hybrid: Avalanche → Snowball

Balanced

The reverse — starts with Avalanche to tackle the most expensive debts first, then switches to Snowball for the remainder. Useful when your highest-rate debts also happen to be among your smaller balances.

Best for: Situations where high-rate debts are relatively small and you want a strong mathematical start.

Cash Flow Index

Frees Up Cash

Calculates each debt's balance ÷ minimum payment ratio and targets the debt that frees up the most monthly cash flow first. Doesn't optimise for interest — it optimises for breathing room. Particularly useful if your minimum payments are eating into your budget.

Best for: People who feel stretched by minimum payments and need to free up cash quickly.
