## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability debtpulse-debt-payoff-strategy-calculator-73293612
```

Example prompt: I have three debts: a Visa with $4,200 balance at 22.9% APR and $85 minimum, a car loan with $11,000 at 7.4% and $230 minimum, and a personal loan with $3,500 at 15% and $110 minimum — I can put $700/month total toward debt. Compare snowball, avalanche, and hybrid strategies and tell me which one saves the most interest and when I'd be debt-free.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user has multiple debts and wants a quantitative, strategy-level comparison (snowball vs. avalanche vs. hybrid) with exact interest math and payoff timelines. Prefer this over general budgeting tools when the user's primary goal is debt elimination optimization and interest minimization rather than broad financial planning.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid debt inputs (balances, rates, or minimums not provided) returns a 400 error
- Monthly payment budget below the sum of all minimums returns an infeasible plan error
- Extremely large debt lists may time out or return a partial response
- Invalid interest rate values (negative or >100%) return a validation error

## How this service works

Debt payoff calculator: snowball vs avalanche vs hybrid. Compares all three strategies with exact interest math, payoff dates, and total interest saved versus minimum payments, factoring in the current rate environment. For debt-relief and personal-finance agents.

## Output

Returns a side-by-side comparison of snowball, avalanche, and hybrid payoff strategies including exact month-by-month payoff schedules, projected debt-free dates for each strategy, total interest paid under each approach, and interest savings versus making only minimum payments — adjusted for the current rate environment.
