🔥 Debt Avalanche Calculator Using Google Sheets

 Pay Off High-Interest Debt Faster with a Smart Spreadsheet

Welcome to another spreadsheet tutorial! Today I’m introducing a Debt Avalanche Calculator I built in Google Sheets to help prioritize debt repayment based on interest rates—not just balances. This method is ideal for minimizing total interest paid over time and accelerating your path to financial freedom.

Whether you're managing personal finances or guiding others through debt recovery, this tool offers a clear, editable way to track progress and make informed decisions.

💡 Top Benefits of the Avalanche Method

• Minimize Interest Paid
   By targeting high-interest debts first, you reduce the total cost of repayment.

• Faster Payoff Timeline
   More of your money goes toward principal, not interest—accelerating your progress.

• Data-Driven Strategy
   Ideal for users who want the most efficient path to debt freedom.

• Flexible and Adaptable
   You can adjust your monthly budget or reorder priorities as needed.

• Clear Visuals and Milestones
   Track your progress and stay motivated with built-in summaries.

✏️ How to Use It
