    Question How to figure when debt will be paid off early?

    please bear with me if this is an easy thing to figure out...math whiz I'm not!! But...how do you figure out when a debt like car, mortgage, credit card will be paid off early? How do you figure it with the interest? Or is it more of an educated guess?

    You could call the company directly and ask them for an early payoff amount. They can do the figuring for you.
