An estimate from the inputs shown, not a promise of a particular date. How we calculate this.

Choose how soon you want to be done and the answer above shows the monthly payment that reaches it. Shorten the deadline and the payment rises; lengthen it and the interest does. There is no arrangement that avoids both.

Your target

The payment shown is the smallest whole-cent amount the payoff engine agrees clears the balance within the months you asked for.

Assumptions

  • Interest accrues once a month, before that month's payment.
  • The APR stays at 22.99% for the whole term.
  • No new spending, fees, penalty rate or promotional rate.
  • You pay the payment above in full, on time, every month.

A 7-day free trial, then $2.99 a month. No bank login, ever.

A date is an estimate, not a deadline anyone can enforce

The figure assumes the rate holds, you add nothing new to the balance, and every payment lands in full and on time. Miss any of those and the date moves. It is a planning number — useful precisely because you can watch it move as reality changes.

Reviewed 2026-09-17. Every figure on this page is produced by the same payoff engine the Dang! Payoff app runs, from the inputs shown, and is an estimate that holds only if the stated assumptions hold. The dates printed here were computed from a plan starting September 2026; the calculator re-anchors to the current month in your browser, so a date you read with JavaScript disabled is the one for that starting month rather than for today.
