Debt consolidation calculator
Compare your current high-rate debt against a single consolidation loan at the same monthly payment, and see how much interest and time you'd save in Canada. It only reports a saving when the new rate genuinely beats your current debt.

How this estimate is calculated
We amortize a consolidation loan for your combined balance (plus any fee) at the loan's rate and term, then pay your existing debt at that same monthly amount and compare total interest and payoff time. The saving comes from the lower rate — not from stretching the term or borrowing more.

Frequently asked questions
Does debt consolidation actually save money?
Only if the loan's rate is meaningfully below your current average rate and you don't re-run up the paid-off cards. This tool compares at the same monthly payment, so it isolates the saving from the lower rate.
Is consolidation the same as debt settlement?
No. Consolidation replaces several debts with one lower-rate loan you repay in full. Settlement tries to pay creditors less than you owe and can damage your credit. We only point to reputable consolidation, never settlement.
