Formulas and Automation
The template uses dynamic formulas across sheets for real-time updates:
- Total Debt Balance (Debt Overview): =SUMIF('Debt List'!A:A, "<>""", 'Debt List'!C:C)
- Average Interest Rate: =AVERAGEIF('Debt List'!C:C, ">0", 'Debt List'!D:D)
- Total Monthly Payment Obligation: =SUM('Debt List'!F:F)
- Interest Paid This Month (in Payment Log): =SUMIF('Payment Log'!B:B, "D001", 'Payment Log'!E:E) — applies per debt
- Remaining Payoff Time (Repayment Plan): Uses iterative calculations based on fixed payments and compound interest formulas.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual clarity, the template includes these rules:
- Overdue Payments: If "Payment Status" is "Overdue", highlight cell red with bold text.
- High Interest Rates (>7%): Apply yellow fill to interest rate cells above 7%.
- Balances Above Threshold: Highlight current balances over $10,000 in light orange for prioritization.
- Past Due Date (by Today): Conditional formatting in "Due Date" column highlights dates that have passed.
