credit card template numbers

I'm looking for a numbers template that works like a budget sheet and amortization table for credit cards. Anyone have one or suggest one?

You can do something like this:

The top table (named "Setup") is where you enter the basic details of your credit card debt. The second table (named "Payoff Schedule") details the interest and payments.


First let's make the table "Setup":

User uploaded file

the only computation is cell "B12":

B12=B3/36500


I formatted cells B1 and B2 as "$", B4 as a date.


Now the "Payoff Schedule":

User uploaded file

A2=ROW()-2

B2=EDATE(Setup :: $B$4,A2)

C2=IF(A2>0, C1-D2+E2,Setup :: B1)

D2=IF(A2>0, Setup :: $B$2, 0)

E2=IFERROR(Setup :: $B$6*F2*C1, 0)

F2=IFERROR(DATEDIF(B1,B2, "D"), 0)


select A2 through F2 and fill down.


Hopefully this helps.


Regards,

Wayne

This is great! I'm curious to see if you have any advice for a formula/function that can show me what will happen when I add more than my regular monthly payment to the mix. I'm planning to snowball my payments, so when I'm done with one debt, I'll roll my payment on that into the next. So, my minimum monthly payments will follow the formula, but I may be adding more as well. Thanks!
