Frequently asked questions
How is this different from dividing a restaurant bill?
A basic bill splitter divides one total by a headcount. This tool tracks multiple expenses paid by different people, and lets each expense involve a different subset of the group. It then combines everyone's payments and shares into settlement transfers.
What happens when an amount cannot be split into exact cents?
Amounts are calculated as integer cents. For 10.00 split between three people, the shares are 3.34, 3.33 and 3.33. The extra cent goes to the first selected participant; additional remainder cents follow selection order. The shares always add back to the original total.
Can someone pay for an expense they are not sharing?
Yes. Choose that person under Paid by, then untick them under Split equally between. Their payment is credited to their balance, while only the selected participants receive a share of the cost.
Does changing currency convert the amounts?
No. Currency controls the symbol and formatting only. All expenses in a sheet must use the same currency. If you paid in several currencies, convert them yourself using the agreed rates before adding them here.
Are these the fewest possible transfers?
The tool matches outstanding debtors with creditors until every balance is zero. It produces a practical set of transfers, but does not claim the mathematically smallest possible number for every group. Each proposed payment is backed by the net expense balances.
Is the expense sheet saved or shared automatically?
No. It stays in the current tab and is cleared by a reload. Download summary creates a text file, and Copy summary puts the same information on your clipboard. You decide whether and how to send it to the group.
About this tool
Group expenses become confusing when payments are spread across several people. Imagine you pay 90 for dinner shared by three friends, and Alex later pays 30 for a taxi shared by the same three. The total is 120 and each person's share is 40. You should receive 50, Alex should pay 10 and the third person should pay 40. Settling those net amounts is easier than reimbursing every receipt separately.
Each entry records the person who paid and the people who benefited. For example, two people can share museum tickets while the entire group shares a meal. Untick anyone who should not contribute to an expense; the payer does not have to be one of the participants.
The calculation uses integer cents to keep the ledger balanced. Equal splits distribute leftover cents in selection order, and the settlement matches negative balances with positive ones until they cancel. Deleting an expense recalculates the result immediately; people attached to an expense cannot be removed until those entries are deleted.
Use the downloaded text summary as a simple record of the expenses and suggested payments. The page does not move money, connect to a bank or send a request to another person. It supports up to 200 expenses per sheet and currencies with two decimal places; currency conversion and custom unequal shares are outside its scope.
