Formulas Required

This advanced template leverages complex, interdependent formulas to ensure accuracy and real-time updates:

Current Balance Calculation: Uses a combination of SUMIFS, IFERROR, and amortization logic to track outstanding balances based on payment history.
Interest Accrual Formula: Calculates daily interest using the formula: (Current Balance × Interest Rate ÷ 365) × Days Since Last Payment.
Next Payment Date: Uses a nested IF statement to determine whether the next payment is due in current or future month based on frequency (Monthly, Bi-weekly, etc.).
Budget Variance Calculation: Compares actual payments against forecasted budget using: =IF(ISBLANK([Actual]),0,[Actual] - [Budget]).
Debt-to-Income Ratio (on Dashboard): Calculates as (Total Monthly Debt Payments ÷ Gross Monthly Income).
Automated Status Updates: Uses conditional logic to flag debts as "Past Due" if Payment Due Date is earlier than today’s date and Payment Amount is not marked as "Paid".

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template applies dynamic visual cues to improve usability for administrative staff:

Past Due Alerts: Red fill with white text for any debt where Payment Due Date is earlier than today and Status ≠ "Paid".
High Interest Rates: Orange highlight (≥ 15%) for debts exceeding industry average interest.
Budget Overruns: Red font with yellow background when Actual Payment > Budgeted Amount.
Payment Trends: Color scales on the Payment Log to show frequency of late payments (red for frequent, green for consistent).
