The new Snowball Calculator is now fully live at
http://www.makesenseofcards.com/snowcalc.html
Quick Summary
* Works out the best order to pay off your debts, showing you how much to pay off each debt in each month
* Tells you when you will become debt free
* Allows you to factor in one-off payments like annual bonuses or birthday money
* Supports both unsecured and secured debts
* Ability to save your Snowball Plan data without registering
* Integrates with the SOA Calculator, so that you don't have to re-type all your debt details.
* Automatically works out how much spare cash you have to throw at your debts (if you have a Saved SOA)
* Same look and feel as the SOA Calculator
The SOA and Snowball calculator combined allow the user to:
* Enter SOA details to work out a monthly budget, posting it here for feedback
* If you can't meet your debt repayments, you can get the SOA calc to generate an Offer to Creditors
* If you can meet all payments, you can save your SOA, and use the Snowball calculator to generate a snowball plan from the saved SOA.
Happy to make improvements over the coming weeks, if anyone wants to make suggestions.
Thanks to all those who have tested it and thanks to everyone else for your patience while I was asking for comments on its design etc.

Thanks Numpty. I need to go away and get a life for a while now. The Snowball Calculator has taken most of my free time since the beginning of the year. I enjoy the challenge of writing the calculators and it gives me a boost when I see that people are finding them useful, but I need a break now. I'll keep an eye on the forum for the next few days to see if anyone is making using of it and has any questions or comments. Then I'll have a break.
Having said that, I've already had requests to create a version of the SOA Calculator that is a General Budget Calculator rather than just for those in debt. I've got some good ideas of how it can really go to another level of usefulness ... but that's not going to get done in a hurry!!
