Use cases: how groups split shared costs

SplitSimple works for any group that shares costs, from a weekend trip to a shared flat. Each page below has a worked example with real numbers and the final settle-up.

What every use case has in common

Whatever the occasion, splitting shared costs comes down to three steps. Log each expense with who paid and who it was for. Compare what each person paid with their fair share. Settle the differences with as few payments as possible. Each page above walks through a real example with names and numbers, so you can check the maths yourself.

What SplitSimple does

• Split an expense equally, by percentage, by exact amounts, or item by item, with tax and tip handled.
• Add expenses in different currencies, converted to the group currency.
• Settle up with the fewest payments, with UPI pay links for ₹ groups.
• Chat in the group, comment on expenses, and follow the activity feed.
• Invite people with a link. Works on the web and Android, with the iPhone app coming soon.

SplitSimple tracks who owes whom. It does not hold or move money. Groups and expenses are unlimited and free.
