Student loan payoff dashboard

Manage student debt

The student loan tracker includes up to 10 loan calculator tabs like this one. In the input section, the user inputs their loan amount, interest rate, length of loan term in months, when their interest started accumulating and when they will start repaying

Below, the amortization table calculates all loan payments, where each row is a month, with checkboxes to check off each month that you've paid. The loan summary section then calculates how much your scheduled payment should be, how many payments you've made to date, how much principal you've made to date, and one other calculation: How much you will save in interest, and how many months you'll save, by paying extra payments - which we'll get to in a minute.

Destroy debt with extra payments

Each loan you enter will appear on the loan summary tab. A Gantt chart visualization at the top breaks down each month's scheduled payment and goes gray when the month will be paid off. Now about those extra payments. In order to pay off your debt faster, the extra payment table allows the user to input how much extra to pay, and for how long, across each loan. For more advanced planning, the manual extra payment row lets the user input whatever amount they want to pay, any month they want.

The bar charts visualize the total interest paid, and total interest saved, across each loan. Both tables update in real-time as you edit your extra payments so you can see how each change impacts everything else.

To add more loans to your scenario in the Student Loan Tracker, you need to ensure that each loan has a unique Loan ID. The system may not allow you to change the Loan ID if it's already in use. Try creating a new, unique Loan ID for each of your additional loans. If you're still having trouble, it may be a limitation of the spreadsheet software you're using. In that case, you may need to consult the software's help resources or contact their support team for further assistance.
