You know you have debt. You know you should be paying it off faster. What you don't have is a clear picture of what it's actually costing you, which account to attack first, and exactly when you'll be done.

That's what this debt payoff tracker is for. Enter your balances, rates, and minimum payments. It does the rest.

How It Works

Add each debt to the tracker — creditor name, current balance, interest rate, and minimum payment. The debt payoff tracker automatically calculates your monthly interest cost, total interest over the life of each debt, and your payoff date under both the avalanche method (highest rate first) and snowball method (smallest balance first).

Set your extra monthly payment and watch the payoff dates shift. See exactly how much interest you save by throwing an extra $100, $200, or $500 at your debt each month. Log actual payments as you make them and track your real progress against the plan.

Who It's For

This debt payoff tracker is built for anyone who's tired of making minimum payments and watching balances barely move. It's the right tool if you:

Have multiple debts and aren't sure which to pay off first
Want to see exactly how much interest you're paying each month
Are choosing between the avalanche and snowball methods and want to compare them
Need a simple, no-subscription way to track debt payoff progress
Want to see how extra payments change your debt-free date in real time

It's not a budgeting app or a full financial dashboard. It's a focused debt payoff tracker that does one thing exceptionally well.

As many as you have. Add rows for credit cards, loans, medical bills — no hard limit.

Do I need Google Sheets experience?
No. All formulas are pre-built. Enter your numbers in the labeled cells and the tracker does the rest.

Can I model extra payments?
Yes. Enter any extra monthly amount and the tracker instantly recalculates your payoff date and total interest saved.
