How RealiPlan works
Four steps from scattered debt details to a clear, follow-able payoff plan. Set up once—the engine handles the rest.
Map your income
Enter each income source with its amount, how often you get paid—weekly, biweekly, monthly, or irregular—and the next expected pay date. RealiPlan maps it to real calendar dates so your plan knows exactly when money arrives, not just how much.
Income Sources
| Source | Amount | Cadence | Next Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary salary | $2,800 | Biweekly | Feb 1, 2026 |
| Freelance projects | $1,200 | Monthly | Feb 10, 2026 |
RealiPlan knows your pay schedule—not just how much you make, but exactly when it arrives.
Add your bills & debts
Add your recurring obligations—rent, utilities, insurance—and then every debt account. For each debt, enter the balance, APR, minimum payment, due date, and any promotional rate with its expiration. Most tools stop at balance and APR. RealiPlan tracks the details that actually affect your plan.
Debt Accounts
| Account | Balance | APR | Minimum | Due | Promo Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chase Sapphire | $8,400 | 24.99% | $210 | 18th | — |
| Student Loan | $22,000 | 5.50% | $280 | 5th | — |
| Best Buy Card | $1,200 | 22.99% | $35 | 12th | — |
| Citi Balance Transfer | $4,800 | 0% | $96 | 20th | 0% until Mar 2027 |
Most tools stop at balance and APR. RealiPlan tracks due dates, promo windows, and minimums.
Get your plan
The engine maps your income timing, subtracts fixed obligations, and allocates your surplus to debts optimally. You get a month-by-month payment schedule, a strategy comparison (Snowball vs. Avalanche), and your calculated debt-free date.

Set calendar reminder for Citi promo expiry
The 0% promo on your $4,800 Citi balance ends Mar 2027. Pay the remaining balance before then to avoid deferred interest.
