How to Find Extra Money for Debt Repayments

Only use money that is genuinely spare after essentials and priority commitments.

Last reviewed: 24 September 2026

Find recurring savings

Subscriptions, bills and flexible spending may contain opportunities, but do not cut essentials or important insurance merely to accelerate an unsecured debt.

Add realistic extra income

One-off selling can create a lump sum; repeatable work can create monthly breathing room. Account for costs and tax.

Test the impact before committing

Use the Debt-Free Date tool to see what an extra amount changes, then decide whether the payment is sustainable.
