Table Structures and Columns (Debt Budget Summary Sheet)

The Debt Budget Summary sheet is the core data input area. It uses a structured table with the following columns:

Formulas Required

The template employs dynamic formulas to ensure real-time updates and validation:

• Current Outstanding Balance (Auto-calculated): Formula: =Original_Principal - SUMIF(Payment_ID_Column, Debt_Instrument_ID, Payment_Amount_Column) This dynamically subtracts all payments made against the original principal.
• Status Indicator: Formula: =IF(TODAY() > Maturity_Date, "Expired", IF(DATE_OF_LAST_PAYMENT = "", "Pending", IF(TODAY() - DATE_OF_LAST_PAYMENT > 30, "Overdue", "Active"))) Automatically flags debts based on maturity and payment history.
• Debt-to-Income Ratio: Formula: =SUM(Current_Outstanding_Balance_Column) / Monthly_Revenue (placed in the Dashboard).
• KPI Score Calculation (for KPI Tracking Log): Formula: =IF(Actual_Value >= Target_Value, 1, IF(Actual_Value >= Target_Value*0.9, 0.8, 0)) to assign scores based on performance.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and enable rapid assessment:

• Overdue Status (Red Fill): Highlights rows where the debt status is "Overdue" or the last payment date is more than 30 days ago.
• Maturity Alert (Yellow/Amber Border): Applies to records where maturity date is within 60 days.
• High Debt-to-Income Ratio (Red Text): If ratio > 40%, text turns red on the dashboard.
• KPI Performance Gradient: Uses a data bar from green (excellent) to red (poor) based on KPI score values.

User Instructions

1. Input Data: Begin by entering all debt instruments on the Debt Budget Summary sheet using the structured columns.
2. Add Payments: In the KPI Tracking Log, record each payment made to update balances automatically.
3. Maintain Regular Updates: Update the template monthly or quarterly to reflect new payments, changes in interest rates, or refinancing.
