Frequently Asked Questions
How many debts can I track?
The Pro version supports up to 15 debts with automatic sorting by balance from smallest to largest for the snowball method.
How does the rollover work?
When a debt is paid off, its minimum payment plus any extra is added to the next smallest debt. The snowball schedule shows these cascading payments automatically growing over time.
What are milestones?
The Milestone tracker records each debt elimination event with the date, which debt was paid off, the cumulative freed payment amount, and your progress percentage toward being debt-free.
How does it compare to avalanche?
The Strategy Comparison sheet shows total interest under snowball vs avalanche vs minimum-only payments. The snowball method focuses on behavioral wins (quick eliminations) rather than strictly minimizing interest.
Can I reorder debts manually?
The snowball method requires smallest-to-largest ordering. Enter debts in any order and the template sorts them by balance for the snowball schedule.
