What Is This Student Loan Payment Tracker?

This tracker logs every payment you make against a student loan and works out where that leaves the balance, so progress toward paying it off is visible rather than something you have to log into a portal to check. Add the loan once with its original balance, then log payments as you make them.

It doesn't calculate interest or replace your loan statement — think of it as a personal, private record of what you've actually paid and what's left, alongside the official numbers from your lender.

Using This Tracker Well

1
Enter the original balance from your most recent loan statement
2
Log every payment as you make it, not in a batch months later
3
Check your loan statement periodically — interest isn't calculated here
4
Export a CSV backup, especially if this is a shared device

Why Track Payments Separately From Your Loan Portal

A loan provider's portal shows the official balance, but it's not always built for a fast, at-a-glance read of "how much have I actually paid" or "what's my progress toward zero." A simple running tracker fills that gap — a personal record of payments and progress that's yours to check any time, without logging into anything.

If a loan is part of a wider budget, pair this with the Student Budget Planner to see repayments alongside income and other expenses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is my current balance calculated?

Original balance minus every payment you've logged against that loan. It's a running total from your own payment entries, not a live feed from your loan provider.

Does this calculate interest automatically?

No — this tracks the balance from payments you log, it doesn't accrue or compound interest for you. Your loan statement is the authoritative source for exact balance and interest charged.

Can I track more than one loan?

Yes — add each loan separately with its own balance and payment history, and switch between them with the chart dropdown.

Where is my loan data stored?

Entirely in this browser's local storage, on this device. Nothing is uploaded. Export a CSV as a backup — this is sensitive financial data, so keep that in mind on shared devices.

Is this financial advice?

No. This is a tracking and planning tool for payments you've made — it doesn't recommend a repayment strategy or assess your finances. For that, a financial counsellor or your loan provider can help.

Can I delete a loan or a payment?

Yes — delete a single payment from the loan's history, or delete an entire loan and all its logged payments from the loan card.
