Formulas and Automation
The template leverages a suite of Excel formulas to enable real-time data processing:
- Interest Calculation: =Current Balance * (Interest Rate / 12) — computed monthly.
- Total Monthly Payment Forecast: =SUMIF(Status, "Active", Monthly Payment) — aggregates active debt payments.
- Debt-to-Income Ratio: =Total Monthly Payments / (Team Member's Income from Team Contributors Sheet).
- Status Indicator: =IF(Current Balance <= 0, "Paid Off", IF(Due Date - TODAY() <= 7, "In Grace Period", IF(Due Date < TODAY(), "Delinquent", "Active"))) — auto-updates status.
- Auto-Generated ID: Uses =TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd") & "-" & COUNTA($A$2:$A$1000)+1 for consistent, unique IDs.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual clarity and immediate insight during Team Use:
- Status Column: Red background for "Delinquent", yellow for "In Grace Period", green for "Paid Off".
- Current Balance: If value > $5,000, color fills in orange; if > $10,000, red.
