Payday shouldn't start with a spreadsheet. Enter your paycheck and your due dates, and Paycheck Debt Planner tells you exactly what to do this cycle: which bills are due, which debt gets the next attack, and how much cushion you'll have left. Then it turns the long grind to debt-free into something you can actually feel — streaks, milestones, and a history of every cycle you stayed on plan. Curious before you commit? Tap "Try with Sample Data" to explore a fully populated plan instantly — no accounts, no bank connections, no sign-up. **TRACK YOUR JOURNEY** Paying off debt is a marathon — this makes the progress visible every single paycheck: - **Milestones & Celebrations** — Cross 25%, 50%, 75%, or fully clear a debt and the app celebrates the moment.
