Featured tool · Snowball Plus™ Debt Hub

Debt is rarely as simple as “smallest balance” or “highest rate”.

Snowball Plus™ checks promotional deadlines, the rate a balance is about to charge, monthly pressure and momentum — then shows the reason beside every position, worked out from your own figures.

Free calculator: one estimate, nothing kept, no email. Debt Hub: a saved plan you update as life changes. One payment, no subscription.

Prices in
The Debt Hub's Strategy tab: three example debts ranked by Snowball Plus, with the reason shown beside each — a balance-transfer card whose 0% ends in October is placed first under Protect, then a rewards card charging 24.9%, then an everyday card charging 21.9%.
A real screen from the Debt Hub, using example figures: every position comes with its reason. Your plan is calculated from your own numbers.

Why Slow Money is different

Clarity you can check, pricing you can see.

Plain-English financial education

Everything explains how money actually works and shows its reasoning, rather than asking you to trust it.

Transparent, one-time pricing

Every price is shown clearly. Pay once, with no automatic renewal or recurring subscription.

No bank connections

The tools work from figures you enter yourself. Nothing links to your accounts.

Recommendations remain editorially independent

Any commercial relationship is disclosed clearly and never changes the price you pay.

Responsible signposting

If your situation is serious, we say so and point you to free, non-profit debt help.

A published method

Snowball Plus™ is documented in full — what it protects first, and what it deliberately doesn't do. Read the method

Created by Mel G. Prosper

One published standard across every book and tool.

Created by Mel G. Prosper, every Slow Money book and tool follows the same published editorial process. Methods are explained and sources can be checked.

Slow Money is financial education, not regulated financial advice, and never a get-rich scheme. If payments are being missed or debt can't be covered, a free, non-profit debt counsellor can do more than any book or tool: in the UK, StepChange, National Debtline or Citizens Advice; in the US, the NFCC.
