Minimum payments stay fixed. Paid-off minimum payments roll into the remaining debts. Snowball prioritizes the smallest opening balance; avalanche prioritizes the highest interest rate. Interest accrues before end-of-month payments. No new borrowing, fees or promotional-rate changes are included.

Monthly multi-debt simulationInterest = opening balance × annual rate / 1200; remaining budget pays the priority debt.
