How to get started
1. Add shared costs
Include only expenses everyone agreed to share.
2. Choose a split method
An equal split is simple, but some groups may use agreed shares.
3. Divide the total
For an equal split, divide the shared total by the number of people.
4. Record who paid
Track payments already made so nobody is charged twice.
5. Confirm before settling
Share the calculation and let everyone check it.
Example
A ₹2,400 shared cost split equally among four people is ₹600 per person.
