Formulas Required

This template uses dynamic formulas to calculate and track KPIs automatically:

• =IF(CURRENT_BALANCE > 0, "Active", "Closed"): Updates the Status column based on current balance.
• =Current Balance - Planned Payment + (Current Balance * Interest Rate / 12): Calculates next month's projected balance with monthly compounding interest.
• =COUNTIF(Status, "Active"): Counts active debt accounts for KPI tracking.
• =SUMIFS(Current Balance, Status, "Active"): Totals all outstanding balances on active debts.
• =AVERAGE(IF(Status="Active", Planned Payment)): Calculates average monthly planned payment across all active debts (array formula).

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and highlight important data, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Overdue Payments: If Last Payment Date is more than 14 days past the due date, cell background turns red.
• High Interest Rates: Any interest rate above 18% is highlighted in yellow to draw attention.
• Current Balance Below Threshold: If current balance falls below $500, the cell turns light green to indicate nearing payoff.
