Debt Consolidation Calculator....

Maximise your savings

This debt consolidation calculator takes your current debts and calculates the true cost of that debt to you as well as the savings you can make through consolidating the loans into one mortgage or even just a single personal loan.

Use the credit consolidation calculator in conjunction with the mortgage term calculator to work out how quickly you could be debt free if you paid your current monthly payments for all your mortgage, personal loans and credit cards into one mortgage payment.

Summary

When the typical debt-consolidation company advertises that they can "save you money," what they are most often referring to is simply a reduction in your total monthly debt payments -- not a savings in the cost of paying off your debt (interest charges). Sure, by consolidating your payments into a single loan, you might be paying one monthly payment that is smaller than the sum of your current monthly payments, but if they stretch your loan out for a longer period of time you could actually end up paying more interest by consolidating. This calculator will help you to determine whether or not consolidating will actually reduce the cost of retiring your debts.

Instructions: Starting with the first line of entry fields, enter each one of your debts, along with their corresponding principal balances, interest rates and monthly payment amounts (the last two columns will be filled in by the calculator). Once you have entered all of the debts you wish to consolidate, click on the "Compute Current Debt Cost" button. Next, enter the consolidating loan's interest rate, term and any origination fees that might apply and click the "Compute Consolidation Loan Costs" button.

IMPORTANT: In order for the this calculator to work, each debt must have the four left-hand fields filled in (for interest-free debts enter .001 just to satisfy the required interest-rate entry). Also, be sure to enter only numbers and decimal points in the numeric entry fields. Dollar signs, percent signs, commas and spaces will cause a JavaScript error.

It's important that your seriously consider the results in the debt consolidation calculator. Lower monthly mortgage payments are very seductive but understand the true cost.
