Frequently Asked Questions
Can I enter both federal and private loans?
Yes. The template handles any student loan regardless of type. Enter each loan on its own row with its specific rate and balance.
How does it handle different interest rates?
Each loan has its own interest rate field. The schedule calculates interest separately for each loan based on its individual rate.
Does it show a weighted average rate?
Yes. The dashboard calculates a weighted average interest rate across all loans based on their individual balances and rates.
Can I model refinancing?
Replace the individual loans with a single refinanced loan entry - new balance, new rate, new term. The schedule recalculates for the consolidated loan.
How do I open this in Google Sheets?
Upload the .xlsx file to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets. All formulas and formatting will be preserved.
