FAQ Q: Does this work in Excel, or just Google Sheets?
A: Both! You'll get an Excel file AND a Google Sheets link. Most debt trackers are Sheets-only — this one works in either.
Q: Do I need to be good with spreadsheets?
A: Not at all. You only type in the peach-colored cells; everything else calculates automatically.
Q: What's the difference between Snowball and Avalanche?
A: Snowball pays your smallest balance first for quick, motivating wins. Avalanche pays your highest-interest debt first to save the most money. The Compare tab shows you both — and the Custom option lets you set your own order.
Q: How many debts can I track?
A: Up to 10 — enough for credit cards, loans, medical bills and more.
Q: Will it work on my phone?
A: Yes — use the free Google Sheets app for the smoothest experience on mobile.
