Credit Card Payoff Tracker – Google Sheets

Credit card debt is expensive. At 20%+ APR, every month you carry a balance is money you're handing to the bank for nothing. The problem isn't motivation — it's clarity. You don't know exactly what each card is costing you, which one to pay off first, or when you'll actually be done.

This credit card payoff tracker gives you that clarity. Enter your cards, see the real numbers, build the plan.

How It Works

Add each credit card to the tracker — card name, current balance, APR, and minimum payment. The tracker calculates your monthly interest charge for each card, your total interest cost if you only make minimums, and your payoff date based on your actual payment amount.

Set a target payoff date and the tracker tells you exactly how much you need to pay each month to hit it. Or set a monthly payment amount and see the payoff date. Adjust either variable and watch the numbers update instantly.

1. Enter each card — balance, APR, minimum payment
2. Set your monthly payment or target payoff date
3. See the payoff order, timeline, and total interest for each card
4. Log payments monthly and track real progress against the plan

Who It's For

This credit card payoff tracker is built for anyone carrying a balance on one or more cards who wants a clear, no-nonsense plan to get to $0. It's the right fit if you:

• Have one or more credit cards with balances you're actively paying down
• Want to see exactly what each card's APR is costing you per month
• Are deciding which card to pay off first and want the math to guide the decision
• Want to set a specific debt-free date and work backward to a monthly payment target
• Are done paying for budgeting apps and want a one-time tool you own forever

It's purpose-built for credit card debt specifically — not a general debt tracker or full budget system.
