In detail: Debt Payoff Calculator for £7,500 Debt paying £100/mo
A £7,500 debt with £100/month payments is a scenario where the APR matters more than people expect. At a typical 20% APR, roughly £125 of the first month's payment is pure interest — only the balance after that reduces what you owe. That ratio improves as the balance drops.
At this payment rate relative to debt, you're in a slow-burn situation. Consider whether a 0% balance transfer or a consolidation loan at a lower rate would redirect more of each payment toward the principal. Even shaving 5% off the APR makes a visible difference over the payoff period.
Two strategies if you have multiple debts: the avalanche (highest APR first, mathematically optimal) and the snowball (smallest balance first, psychologically motivating). On a single debt this doesn't matter, but if £7,500 is one of several, write them all down before committing to a payment plan.
