You would borrow $12,000.00 to receive $11,400.00 after a $600.00 fee. That is what it takes to clear the debts above.
Your monthly payment would go up by $55.13, but you would be debt-free 17 months sooner.
The break-even rate, in plain words. On a 36-month term, any offer with an all-in APR below 35.4% beats your current path, and anything above it costs you more. It works however the lender splits the cost between rate and fee.
A few honest limits: we assume you keep paying today's amount on each debt until it is gone and add no new debt. Card minimums usually shrink as balances fall, so real life can differ a little. This is an illustration, not an offer or advice. Borrowing costs money, and late payments may harm your credit score.
How to read your result
- Monthly payment is what you'd pay on the new loan. It can be lower even when the loan costs more overall, because a longer term spreads the cost out.
- Interest + fees is the true price of each path. This is the comparison that matters.
- All-in APR counts the fee as well as the interest rate, so it's the fair number to compare offers by.
- Number to beat is the break-even APR: offers below it save you money, offers above it cost you more.
