How it works

Open Net Worth and review the debts Surplus has detected. A regular repayment can identify a possible debt without supplying its current outstanding balance or interest rate.

Open debt setup, enter the balance and APR for each debt, and check the regular payment. Confirm the agreed regular-payment option where it applies. Save, then check the debt overview.

The example has Zopa at £4,200 and 7.9% APR with a £185 monthly payment, plus a £1,200 loan at 0% with a £60 monthly payment. Use your lender’s figures when setting up your own debts.
