X Debt by Velocity Your Financial GPS

A free educational comparison of debt-payoff strategies, using the numbers you enter.

X Debt by Velocity is an educational calculator. It is not financial, insurance, tax, or legal advice. This calculator sells no products. Results are estimates based on the numbers you type in and will not match a lender’s or insurer’s statement exactly. Confirm figures with your lender, insurance professional, or tax professional before you act. For people 18 or older in the United States only.

Your numbers are calculated on this device. This page does not save your debts, income, or policy values on a server, and it does not store them in the browser after you leave. A refresh starts over. You can print this page if you want a copy.

Your cash flow

Enter monthly income and living expenses that are not debt payments. Put a mortgage or existing HELOC in the debt list, not in expenses. If you add a whole life policy below, its premium is added automatically — do not also include that premium in expenses.

Used for velocity banking’s paycheck-timing estimate. Other paths use monthly totals.

For credit-card velocity, enter bills you can actually charge. Leave that field at 0 if you pay all living expenses in cash. Do not include rent or other bills you cannot charge. This form does not guess the split.

Debts

Type each balance, annual rate, and minimum payment by hand. Do not enter account numbers. Mark variable-rate debts so rate-shock can apply to all of them, not only a HELOC. Promotional or deferred-interest, federal student loans, and collections can be flagged; those programs are not fully modeled.

Credit-card velocity options

These apply only if you entered a credit limit on a card and a dollar amount of bills you can charge. This method does not create extra income.

A rewards percent is a small credit on the bills you charge. It is not a reason to ignore interest. Many cards do not earn rewards on cash advances or balance transfers.

Optional line of credit (for velocity banking)

Optional existing whole life policy (for infinite banking)

Stress tests

These run on the same free page so a teaser rate or a tighter month cannot hide. They are estimates only.
