Free Debt Relief Matching · All 50 States Mon–Fri · 9am–7pm ET Not a lender, a free matching service (888) 555-0182

Debt Payoff Guide is a free service that connects consumers with third-party debt-relief providers. We are not a lender, law firm, credit-counseling agency, or debt-settlement company, and we do not provide financial, legal, or tax advice. Information here is general and not a recommendation.

The short answer

There's no single price. For-profit debt settlement usually costs 15% to 25% of the debt you enroll, charged only after a debt is settled. Nonprofit debt management plans run about $0 to $75 to set up and roughly $25 to $50 a month. Consolidation-loan rates depend on your credit. Nonprofit credit-counseling sessions are often free.

Estimate your own numbers with the debt-to-income and debt payoff calculators.
