The Tiller Community has created dozens of free templates for spreadsheets powered by Tiller.

The easiest way to browse these is in the Tiller Community Templates gallery, where new templates are added regularly.

We thought it might be helpful to share a list of the top ten most popular templates for 2024 so far. “So far,” because the most popular templates change throughout the year.

This list looked different at the end of 2023, as people ran reports and created budgets for the new year ahead. And as tax season picks up, this list will change again.

We’ll update this list at the end of the quarter in March, and again at the beginning of July.

Note: “Tiller Community Solutions” indicates templates created by our team members, often @Randy.

Debt can provide leverage for achieving your goals, like buying a house, car, or education.

But debt can quickly become a burden. A recent survey found 54% of U.S. adults often feel stressed because of debt.

And debt is expensive. Monthly interest payments reduce your ability to save and invest. (No wonder 36% of Americans have more credit card debt than emergency savings.)

You asked, we listened

Over 100,000 people have trusted Tiller to navigate their financial journey. Managing debt is a key part of that journey.

So, with feedback from the Tiller Community, we developed a new Debt Payoff Planner you can customize to manage all your debt in one place.

Introducing the new Debt Payoff Planner for Google Sheets and Excel

The new Debt Payoff Planner makes tracking debt simple. It shows:

• Current balances on all credit cards and loans 
• Interest rates for each liability based on your input
• Minimum monthly payments based on your input
• Progress toward your debt payoff goals
• Estimated monthly interest totals  
• Projected debt payoff date (based on your inputs)
• Total interest paid over the lifetime of the debt
• Recommended payments to reach your desired payoff date

Customize Your Debt Payoff Strategy

The Debt Payoff Planner can model debt snowball, avalanche, or a custom ranking payoff strategy for up to 25 accounts for up to 30 years. 

See how different payoff amounts and other variables impact your debt freedom date. Experiment with variables including monthly payment amounts and time to debt payoff.

Then make a custom debt payoff plan based on your actual balances and real-world numbers.

About the Debt Snowball and Avalanche Methods

The debt snowball and avalanche methods are two popular strategies for paying off debt. The debt snowball method prioritizes small quick wins to stay motivated, while the debt avalanche method focuses on minimizing total interest payments over time.

Debt Snowball

The debt snowball method prioritizes paying off your smallest debt balances first, regardless of interest rate.

For example, using the snowball method you would pay off a credit card with a $1,000 balance and 10% interest rate before paying off a card with a 15% interest rate and $2,000 balance. 

The advantage of this method is psychological – successfully paying off small debts quickly can give motivation to keep tackling larger ones.

Debt Avalanche 

The debt avalanche method focuses on paying off debts with the highest interest rates first, regardless of balance size. 

For instance, you would pay off a high-interest credit card before paying off your student loans, even if the card has a lower balance. 

The debt avalanche will likely save you more in the long run by reducing interest payments. However, it can be less motivating without the quick wins of eliminating your small debts first. 

Custom Payoff Ranking Option

The Debt Payoff planner also provides a custom ranking model. Use this to target debts you simply want to eliminate first, regardless of any other factor. 

Budgeting for Debt Payoff

It’s recommended to make a quick budget before making a debt payoff plan. A budget shows how much money you have to put toward debt after covering your living and other expenses.

A budget can also help you find expenses to cut, giving you more to put towards debt. 

The Tiller Foundation Template includes a yearly and monthly budget. Several budgets are available at the Tiller Community Template gallery. 

Tiller Foundation Template

Combining the Debt Payoff Planner with the budgeting tools in the Tiller Foundation Template will give you a master plan for transforming your financial life. 

However, while it’s recommended, a budget isn’t required to use the Debt Planner template. In fact, because it’s solely based on your account balances, you don’t even need to categorize transactions to use the Debt Planner spreadsheet.

Requirements and Installation 

The Debt Payoff Planner is included with your Tiller subscription. It’s available now for Google and Excel spreadsheets powered by Tiller Money Feeds. And, of course, it’s 100% compatible with the Foundation Template.

If you don’t have a Tiller subscription, you can try the Debt Planner completely free for 30 days.

If you cancel your trial, you keep the template along with any other templates and data you’ve installed.

Installation

Install the Debt Payoff Planner using the Templates feature in the Tiller Money Feeds add-on for Google Sheets, or Tiller Money Feeds add-in for Excel.

Google Sheets

The debt avalanche method focuses on paying off debts with the highest interest rates first, regardless of balance size. 

For instance, you would pay off a high-interest credit card before paying off your student loans, even if the card has a lower balance. 

The debt avalanche will likely save you more in the long run by reducing interest payments. However, it can be less motivating without the quick wins of eliminating your small debts first. 

Custom Payoff Ranking Option

The Debt Payoff planner also provides a custom ranking model. Use this to target debts you simply want to eliminate first, regardless of any other factor. 

Budgeting for Debt Payoff

It’s recommended to make a quick budget before making a debt payoff plan. A budget shows how much money you have to put toward debt after covering your living and other expenses.

A budget can also help you find expenses to cut, giving you more to put towards debt. 

The Tiller Foundation Template includes a yearly and monthly budget. Several budgets are available at the Tiller Community Template gallery. 

Tiller Foundation Template

Combining the Debt Payoff Planner with the budgeting tools in the Tiller Foundation Template will give you a master plan for transforming your financial life. 

However, while it’s recommended, a budget isn’t required to use the Debt Planner template. In fact, because it’s solely based on your account balances, you don’t even need to categorize transactions to use the Debt Planner spreadsheet.

Requirements and Installation 

The Debt Payoff Planner is included with your Tiller subscription. It’s available now for Google and Excel spreadsheets powered by Tiller Money Feeds. And, of course, it’s 100% compatible with the Foundation Template.

If you don’t have a Tiller subscription, you can try the Debt Planner completely free for 30 days.

If you cancel your trial, you keep the template along with any other templates and data you’ve installed.

Today we’re excited to announce the release of our template insertion capability in the Tiller Money Feeds add-in for Microsoft Excel Desktop. 

This feature enables you to effortlessly install, restore, and update Tiller’s official product templates directly from the add-in sidebar in the desktop version of Excel. 

Template insertion reduces the tedious manual steps previously required to add new workflows to your Tiller-powered Excel workbook. It also helps fix issues related to accidental edits or bugs. 

Initially this feature is only available for the desktop version of Excel. However, we’re currently working on template insertion for Excel Online users.
