The tool can also help you figure out how much to pay monthly if you want to be debt free by a certain date. Having an end in sight will help make getting out of debt seem more achievable and sets you on the path towards a brighter financial future.
Unbury Me is a free web-based application that helps you make sense of your finances.

Once this is done, it shows you which debt repayment method is better for you, between the avalanche or snowball method, and then shows you a visual representation of when you will finally be debt-free and even goes a step further by showing you how to pay monthly to get out debt quicker.
