The best credit cards to help you get out of debt

Using a balance-transfer card, you can move debt from a credit card with a high interest rate to one that temporarily charges no interest, providing you with a window of time to focus on paying off your balance. Since the average U.S. household with revolving credit card debt pays almost $900 in interest each year, using these cards responsibly can get you out of debt faster and at a lower cost. To determine which card offers the best deal overall, CNBC Make It analyzed 25 of the most popular credit cards designed to help users pay off debt in the U.S. Using a sample budget based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we estimated how long it would take to pay off a range of debts at different rates, and how much interest you'd pay with each card.
