It seems like many of the success stories posted on r/Frugal are related to repaying student loans, so I figured I'd throw my student loan spreadsheet out there as I've organized it to be pretty intuitive/usable. I think the way I have it organized is one of the more (if not the most) efficient/cost effective ways to repay student loans, and I hope at least someone gets some good use out of it.
I've added a "Help" sheet which provides tips and a walk-through, or if you want to jump right in you will only be able to edit the cells in orange. It has been filled out with example data, and has comments on particularly important cells. Feel free to change it (the password to unprotect the "Student Loans" sheet is on the help page, towards the bottom), distribute it, or ignore it. If you notice something I did wrong, please let me know in the comments.
The disclaimer: I am not a finance expert, and if you misuse this spreadsheet, I am not to blame.
