What it's for
When you have several debts, it's hard to know which one to pay off first and when it will all end. Enter balances, rates and minimum payments, choose a method, and the spreadsheet builds a 10-year schedule: the payoff order, your debt-free date and how much interest you'll save compared with paying only the minimums.
What's inside
- “Settings”: method (“Avalanche” or “Snowball”), total monthly debt budget, first payment date, and a check that the money covers the minimum payments.
- “Debts”: up to 15 debts: name, type, balance, rate, minimum payment; payoff order, time to payoff and payoff date for each debt, interest and savings.
- “Schedule”: a monthly plan for 120 months with a breakdown by debt, compared with paying only the minimums.
- “Summary”: time to become debt-free, total interest, interest saved and two charts.
Who it's for
Anyone with several loans, credit cards, instalment plans or payday loans who wants to know in what order and how quickly to pay them off. Suitable for a family budget and for personal financial coaching.
