How Does the Debt Snowball Work?

The debt snowball is a simple plan for paying off several debts. You list your debts from the smallest balance to the largest, pay the minimum on all of them, and put every extra dollar on the smallest one. When that debt is paid off, you add its payment to the next debt, so the payment grows like a snowball rolling downhill. The avalanche method uses the same steps but orders the debts from the highest interest rate to the lowest, which usually costs less interest. These printables are for tracking your own plan, not financial advice: for help with serious debt, talk to a non-profit credit counsellor.

Which Debt Tracker Should You Use?

• Debt snowball worksheet: ten debts in payoff order with the balance, rate, minimum payment, payoff date and a paid-off box, plus a reminder of how the snowball and avalanche work.
• Debt payoff tracker: one debt, with a 20-step bar to colour in down to “Paid off” and a payment log.
• Debt payoff colouring chart: 100 boxes, each 1% of your debt, to colour in as you pay it down.
• Credit card payoff tracker: up to four cards with the rate and starting balance, then the payment and balance for 12 months.
• Monthly debt payment log: what you paid on up to five debts every month, with a yearly total.
• Black and white versions: every template also comes in a printer-friendly black and white version with grey headings, to save ink.

How to Start Paying Off Your Debt

1. Choose your paper size above, download the ZIP and open the debt snowball worksheet in Word.
2. List every debt with its balance, interest rate and minimum payment, smallest balance first (or highest rate first for the avalanche).
3. Decide how much extra you can pay each month and write it at the top.
4. Use a debt payoff tracker or the colouring chart for the debt you are paying first, and colour it in as the balance falls.
5. Record every payment in the monthly payment log, and tick each debt off on the worksheet when it reaches zero.

Pay the extra amount as soon as you are paid, before you can spend it. Find extra money with a budget planner and keep going with a savings challenge once the debt is gone.
