Split an expense
Four modes, one of which only exists at expense level.
By default an expense inherits the budget split. The Split sheet exists for expenses that are shared differently.
A pending invitation is already included among the active participants, so the invitee can receive a share of an expense before accepting the invitation.
Four modes
| Mode | What you enter |
|---|---|
| Even | Nothing |
| By shares | A number of shares per person |
| Custom | An exact percentage, totalling 100% |
| Amounts | Each person's exact amount, totalling the expense |
Amounts exists only here: at budget level the split is a rule, not a sum of money. It suits composite bills, where everyone knows what they consumed.
The total has to land exactly
In Custom, the total must reach 100%. In Amounts, it must match the expense amount exactly — otherwise: "The total must be €48.00 (currently €45.00)."
Three shortcuts
- Default — return to the budget split
- On me — put it all on yourself
- On
{name}— put it all on someone else
The preview
The sheet shows each participant's amount and percentage, and the balance it will produce. No need to save to know what the expense will do.
A participant who declined
They are excluded from new splits. If an existing expense still assigns them a share, it appears in the split and can be removed there, without going through participant management.
Changing an expense's split does not change the budget's. The reverse holds too.
