Why it works

Why a physical planner works better than an app

Writing it down increases commitment

Studies consistently show that written goals are more likely to be achieved. Signing your name to a payoff plan makes it real.

Monthly tracking keeps you accountable

Logging payments by hand forces you to confront the numbers — good months and bad ones. You can't ignore what you write down.

Seeing the thermometer fill up is motivating

The visual feedback of shading in debt thermometers is a proven motivational technique. Progress you can see is progress you'll continue.

No login required — ever

No app, no account, no subscription. Print it once, use it for years. Your data is yours.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this debt payoff planner really free?

Yes — 100% free, no strings attached. Enter your email to download instantly. No spam, no paid upgrade, no credit card.

Does the planner work for both snowball and avalanche methods?

Yes. Page 2 walks you through choosing your strategy, and the individual debt trackers work regardless of which method you choose. The payoff order on Page 2 is where you record your strategy.

How many debts can I track with this planner?

The planner includes 5 individual debt trackers (Pages 3–7) covering up to 5 debts, each with 36 months of payment logs. The debt overview dashboard on Page 1 has rows for up to 10 debts. If you have more than 5 high-priority debts, print multiple copies of pages 3–7.

Can I print multiple copies?

Yes — print as many copies as you need for personal use. If you need more tracker pages (for more than 5 debts), simply print pages 3–7 multiple times.
