Formulas Required

The template leverages powerful Excel formulas for dynamic calculations and real-time updates:

• Current Balance Calculation:
  =Original Amount - SUMIF(Payment Tracker!A:A, Debt ID, Payment Tracker!D:D) + (Original Amount * Interest Rate * Days Since Last Payment / 365)
• Variance:
  =Budgeted Amount - Actual Spent
• Utilization Percentage:
  =IF(Budgeted Amount=0, "N/A", (Actual Spent / Budgeted Amount))
• Overdue Check (for conditional formatting):
  =AND(Due Date < TODAY(), Status="Active")
• Total Debt Summary:
  =SUM(Debt Schedule!C:C) for total current balance.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Overdue Payments: Highlight entire row in red if Due Date is past today and Status is Active.
• Budget Variance: Green fill for negative variance (under budget); red for positive (over budget).
• Status Indicators: Color-coded cell backgrounds: green ("Paid"), amber ("Negotiated"), red ("Overdue").
