Debt snowball worksheet and avalanche plan in one calm 12 page workbook
Watch each freed-up payment roll into the next debt until the very last one is gone.
Overview
This debt snowball worksheet comes paired with an avalanche worksheet inside one calm, step by step workbook, so you can list every debt, pick a method and stay with it until your final payment.

How the debt snowball worksheet keeps you moving
When every card, loan and bill sits on one list, the total feels less frightening. A short guide and checklist help you choose between clearing the smallest balance first or the highest interest first.
Columns for rolled-over payments let you see each freed-up amount flow into the next debt as your payment grows. A schedule, a monthly log and a log for each separate debt keep things on track, while the estimate page and milestones show the finish line moving closer.
