Ruby script that will take in a hash of the details to all your loans, e.g.

{
  title: "Sallie Mae",
  interest_rate: 0.065,
  original_balance: 10000,
  current_balance: 10000,
  min_payment: 200
},
{
  ...
}

With that information, you can run the script with one input (how much you budget towards debt) and it will spit out how many months it will take to pay off all of your debt using the avalanche method (however, could be tweaked easily to use the snowball method). These methods are just what debts get paid first with any spare money you have each month.

Here is an example scenario and output:

Paying $1133 in minimum payments
Total debt: $59143.6
Paying an extra $300 a month
Totalling $1433 a month
