Questions

Snowball or Avalanche: which should I use?

The Dashboard shows both, calculated from your real numbers. Avalanche usually costs less interest overall; Snowball clears small debts fast, which some people find easier to stick with.

What if my debt doesn't pay off within 15 years?

The Dashboard shows "> 180 months". Add a larger extra payment and the schedule recalculates.

Will it tell me to consolidate or refinance?

No. It's a planning tool based on the numbers you enter, not a recommendation to refinance, consolidate or take on new debt.

Does it work in Google Sheets?

Yes. Upload the .xlsx file to Google Drive and choose "Open with Google Sheets". Formulas, dropdowns and charts work. You need a free Google account.

Which currency does it use?

Any. Amounts are plain numbers, so use whatever currency you earn and spend in.

How do I get the file?

Right after checkout you get a download link by email. Checkout is handled by Lemon Squeezy.

What if something doesn't work?

Email me. I'll help you fix it, and if I can't, I'll refund you.

Is this financial advice?

No. It's a planning and tracking tool based on the numbers you enter.
