Interest Rate) | Key financial indicators | | Value | Currency or Percentage (formatted accordingly) | Dynamic result calculated via formulas |Formulas Required
The template uses several essential formulas to maintain accuracy and automate calculations:- Total Current Balance:
=SUMIF(Debt_Overview!$B:$B, "<>""", Debt_Overview!$F:$F)(Sum of all current balances in Debt Overview) - Average Interest Rate:
=AVERAGEIFS(Debt_Overview!$G:$G, Debt_Overview!$G:$G, ">0") - Total Monthly Payment Required:
=SUM(Debt_Overview!$E:$E) - Debt Reduction Progress (Monthly): In the Monthly Payment Tracker, use:
=IFERROR(D2-SUMIFS(Debt_Overview!$F:$F, Debt_Overview!$A:$A, C2), "N/A") - Remaining Months to Pay Off (Estimate): Based on current balance and average monthly payment:
=ROUNDUP(Total_Current_Balance / Average_Monthly_Payment, 0) - Interest Accrued This Month: For each debt:
=Current_Balance * (Interest_Rate/12)
Conditional Formatting
To enhance data readability and highlight key financial insights:- High Interest Rates (>15%): Apply red fill to cells with interest rate above 15%.
- Overdue Payments: Highlight any payment in the Monthly Payment Tracker where Payment Date is before today but no payment is recorded.
- Rising Balances: If current balance > original balance, apply yellow background (indicates additional fees/interest).
- Low Balance Alerts: Highlight debts with current balance below $100 in green to indicate nearing payoff.
