Budget Debt Payoff Planner

Debt-free looks good on you! 🎉 This planner turns a scary pile of balances into a clear, step-by-step game plan — and every payment becomes a little victory worth coloring in.

Why it works: most payoff plans fail because they live in your head. This one lives on paper: every debt in one place, one payoff order to follow, and a progress bar that makes the finish line feel real. Pick your method, roll your payments forward, and watch the balances fall.

What is inside — 11 pages:

• Cover & How to Use — a 4-step routine, a "My debt-free goal" snapshot, and printing tips
• Debt Snapshot — a 12-row inventory of every debt (creditor, balance, APR, minimum payment, due date, type) with totals and first-target boxes
• Snowball or Avalanche? — a plain-English comparison of both methods with a worked example using the same three debts, plus a "My choice" commitment box
• Your Payoff Order — a ranked 10-row payoff sequence with target paid-off dates, and a 4-step explanation of how the payment roll-down works
• Monthly Budget for Payoff — income table and budgeted vs. actual by category, with minimum and extra debt payments as their own lines, ending in the month's extra-payment target
• 12-Month Payment Tracker — tick-box grid for 8 debts across all 12 months, plus a monthly extra-payment row
• One-Debt Payoff Tracker — a per-debt ledger (date, payment, extra, interest, new balance) with a "Paid in full!" celebration box — print one per debt
• Extra Payments & Windfalls Log — a where-extra-money-hides checklist and a log assigning each windfall to a debt
• Progress & Milestones — a color-in 10%–100% total progress bar, per-debt progress bars, and a milestone table ending in "DEBT FREE"
• Monthly Review & Reset — month start and end totals, quick checks, wins, setbacks, and next month's single focus
• Creditor Contacts & Notes — a contact table (last 4 digits only, with a safety note against writing full numbers or passwords), lined notes, and a "when the last payment clears" redirect box
