Group Trip Expense Splitter
Enter who paid for what and get who owes whom, in as few payments as possible
Loading the tool…
Settles shared costs after a group trip: enter who paid for what, in any currency, and get who should send how much to whom in as few payments as possible.
How to use
- Press "New trip", choose the currency to "Settle in" and enter everyone's names.
- Add each expense with its amount, currency, category and who paid; press "Change the split" when only some people shared it or it is split by amounts or portions.
- For expenses in another currency, press "+ Add a currency" and type the rate.
- Read the transfers on the right and press "Copy as text" to send them in a chat.
- Use "Paste from a spreadsheet" to add many rows at once, and "Save as file" to keep a copy or move it to another device.
How it works
- Each person's balance = what they paid − their share. The transfers settle every balance with the fewest payments (exact for up to 18 people with a balance).
- Amounts are kept in whole minor units (cents, won) and converted with your rates, so the total is conserved exactly; the rounding unit you choose only moves small leftovers, which the page shows per person.
- No live rates are used, and there is no share link. Groups stay in this browser on this device unless you save a file.
Questions and answers
- How do I split trip costs when different people paid?
- Enter every expense with the person who paid it. The tool adds up what each person paid and owes and lists the payments that even it out.
- How are expenses in a foreign currency handled?
- Each expense keeps its own currency. It is converted into the settlement currency with the rate you type, for example 100 JPY = 905 KRW.
- Can someone be left out of one expense?
- Yes. Press "Change the split" and turn off the people who did not take part, or give amounts or portions per person.
- Why are some payments rounded?
- With a rounding unit of 10 or 100, payments are rounded to that unit. The leftover is assigned so that the totals still match, and "Rounding leftovers" shows who pays a little more or less.
