| Number (Currency) | Current Balance | Total outstanding amount. Format as currency with 2 decimal places. |

| Number (Whole) | Minimum Payment | Monthly minimum required payment. Format as currency. |

Formulas Required
The template uses dynamic formulas to automate calculations:
- Debt ID Generator:
=CONCAT("DT-", TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"))— auto-assigns unique IDs. - Projected Payment Calculation:
=IF(E2="", "", MIN(F2, G2))— compares minimum and actual payments. - Total Monthly Payments (Dashboard):
=SUM('Debt Summary'!F:F)— sums all minimum monthly obligations. - Interest Accrual (Interest Calculator Sheet): Uses compound interest formula:
=P*(1+(R/n))^(n*t) - P, where P = principal, R = annual rate, n = compounding periods per year, t = time in years. - Status Color Logic: Conditional formatting based on status column values.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual clarity and immediate recognition of financial risks:
- Red Highlight: If Status = "Defaulted" or Current Balance exceeds a user-defined threshold (e.g., $5,000).
- Orange Highlight: If Last Payment Date is more than 14 days overdue.
- Green Highlight: If Status = "Paid Off" or Payment is made on time.
- Bar Chart (Data Bars): Applied to Current Balance column to visually compare debt sizes.
