When working on paying off debt, you can use all the help you can get. Although it may seem like a little thing, you can get a very real motivational boost from tracking your debt payoff goal using worksheets and charts. There is just something fun and satisfying about crossing out debt as you pay it off.

I've created a few different spreadsheets and editable PDFs that you can use to print a debt payoff tracker for each of your debts. You don't need to do any math. After you enter your start debt amount, the trackers will fill in the goal amounts automatically.

The special instagram version of the Debt Snowball Calculator was the first place I used these charts, but they also work as stand-alone debt payoff charts.

Record the new debt balance each month. The image in the background of the chart is gradually revealed as you pay off your debt. You can use the =EDATE(prevdate,1) formula to automatically add a month to the previous date.
