What’s Included

  • Creditor and debt type for each account
  • Balance and interest rate (APR)
  • Secured vs. unsecured and current vs. past-due status
  • A payment schedule you can fill in as you build your plan

How to Use It

  1. List every debt you owe — start with the account statements or your credit report so you don't miss anything
  2. Fill in the balance and interest rate for each one
  3. Mark whether each is secured (like a car loan) or unsecured (like a credit card), and whether it's current or past due
  4. Use the payment schedule section to map out your plan, whichever method you choose

Works With Any Payoff Strategy

This worksheet doesn’t lock you into one method. Once your full debt list is organized, you can order it however fits your strategy — smallest balance first with the Debt Snowball Worksheet, highest interest rate first with the avalanche method, or however else makes sense for your situation. Our DIY Debt Payoff guide walks through the full comparison if you’re deciding between them.

If you fill this out and the numbers don’t add up — if your income can’t realistically cover a DIY payoff plan — that’s worth knowing early. Take a look at your debt relief options to see what else might fit.
