Debt Consolidation Calculator: Simplify Your Repayments
Gjeldskonsolideringskalkulatoren viser hvor lang tid det vil ta å betale tilbake dine samlede saldoer og hvor mye du totalt vil betale basert på din totale gjeld, gjennomsnittlig rentesats og månedlig betaling. Bruk den til å budsjettere med selvtillit, sammenligne scenarier og visualisere veien til å bli gjeldfri.
1) What the Debt Consolidation Calculator Does
Dette verktøyet estimerer tid til nedbetaling og total tilbakebetaling når flere gjeldsposter rulles inn i én plan. Det bruker din gjennomsnittlige APR på en enkelt saldo og modellerer tilbakebetalingen med en fast månedlig betaling (ingen nye kostnader eller gebyrer).
2) Inputs
| Input | Description |
|---|---|
| Total Debt Amount | Summen av all usikret gjeld du planlegger å konsolidere. |
| Average Interest Rate (%) | Vektet gjennomsnittlig APR for disse gjeldene (årlig prosentsats). |
| Monthly Payment ($) | Det faste beløpet du kan avsette hver måned til tilbakebetaling. |
3) How It Works (Formula)
Months to payoff with a fixed monthly payment M:
n = -ln(1 - r·P / M) / ln(1 + r)
P= total debt (principal)r= monthly rate = APR ÷ 12M= monthly paymentn= number of months to repay
Totals: Total Interest = M·n − P | Total Repayment = P + Total Interest
Important: Repayment isn’t possible if M ≤ r·P (your payment doesn’t cover monthly interest). Increase M above r·P to begin reducing principal.
4) Outputs
| Output | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Total Repayment Amount | Alle betalinger over planen (hovedstol + renter). |
| Time to Pay Off | Måneder (og år) som kreves for å nå null saldo. |
| Total Interest Paid | Total lånekostnad over tilbakebetalingsperioden. |
5) Practical Use Cases
- Budget planning: Velg en betaling som passer din kontantstrøm og målsetningsdato.
- Rate comparison: Test hvordan en lavere APR fra konsolidering påvirker renter og tidsramme.
- Acceleration: Se besparelser ved å øke din månedlige betaling.
- Simplification: Erstatt flere forfallsdatoer med én forutsigbar betaling.
