Pay off what you owe, one month at a time. Payoff turns your debts into a plan you can actually follow: what to pay, on which debt, this month. Tick each one off as you pay it, and watch the debt-free date come closer. THIS MONTH'S PLAN Every month, Payoff works out exactly what to put on each debt. Log a payment in two taps — the minimum, the planned amount, or the lot — and the plan updates itself. SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAVING Your plan against paying minimums only, side by side: the years and the interest you avoid. Drag the extra-payment slider to see what another $50 a month would do. EVERY STRATEGY, COMPARED Avalanche, Snowball, Hybrid, Cash-flow first and Promo deadline — for 0% and intro rates. Best plan for me runs all of them on your actual debts and tells you which wins, and why. PROGRESS WORTH WATCHING How much you've paid off, your debt-free countdown, whether you're ahead of plan, and every payment you've logged. Each debt gets its own progress bar.
