Help with spreadsheet

I am putting this message here as the aim is to help with me getting debt free.

This may be a bit of a cheeky request but I was wondering if anyone had a spreadsheet that was pretty simple to use and helped work out what overpayments could be made to clear their debt.

I currently use a spreadsheet in Excel but over time I think I have overcomplicated it and now I'm just getting myself in a bigger mess.

It would be appreciated if somebody could come to my rescue :o

    you can use the snowball calculator at https://www.makesenseofcards.com or at whatsthecost.com and they will do the work for you, you can save them and add to them so you don't lose the effort of putting the info in.

    Thanks poorandindenial

    I was actually looking for a spreadsheet where I could log all my incomings and outgoings and see what I had left over to over pay my debts.

  • ah, well I used to have one but lost it, but I will admit to having shamelessly ripped off the categories etc from the SOA calculator at https://www.makesenseofcards.com

    Sorry, I seem to be calculator woman today.

    I am quite good on excel though, what sort of 'overcomplication' have you created?? LOL
