Split expenses

Share the bill. Keep the friendship.

Trips, rent, groceries, birthday dinners — add shared costs to a group and SpendWise keeps a running tally of who owes whom, down to the cent.

SpendWise Split expenses home: one group called Cabin weekend with 3 members, owed to you $190.00.

How it works

From “I'll get this one” to all square

Create a group

Name it — “Cabin weekend”, “Apartment 4B”, “Dinner club” — and pick its currency from 30 options. Each group has one currency, so balances stay simple and nothing is converted.

Invite with a one-time link

Enter a friend's email address and SpendWise creates an invite link just for them. Send it by text, chat or email — it works once, for that email address, for 7 days. Everyone in a group has their own free SpendWise account, so each person sees the same balances.

Add what you paid

Enter the amount and description, then split it equally, by exact amounts or by percentage. Uneven cents are handled for you, so shares always add up to the total.

See who owes whom

Every member's balance is what they paid minus their share. Balances are labelled in words — You owe, Owed to you, Settled up — not just colours.

SpendWise group Cabin weekend: You are owed $190.00, Jo owes you $88.00, Ravi owes you $102.00; expenses Gas $54, Groceries $96 and Cabin rental $360, each split equally.

Settling up

Pay back however you like. Record it in a tap.

When someone pays you back — by bank transfer, cash or another app — record the payment in SpendWise and balances update for everyone. The person receiving it can confirm it.

SpendWise never moves money. There's nothing to link and no payments to authorise — settling up simply keeps the record straight.

Built into your budget

Only your share counts as your spending

Split expenses aren't a separate world. When you pay a $120 bill for three people:

  • Your $40 share goes to the budget category you choose
  • The other $80 is tracked as money owed back to you
  • When friends pay you back, it isn't counted as new income

Example: $120.00 dinner, you paid

  • YouPaid $120.00 · share $40.00 +$80.00
  • JoPaid $0.00 · share $40.00 -$40.00
  • RaviPaid $0.00 · share $40.00 -$40.00

Balanced +$80 − $40 − $40 = $0

On the free plan you get one active group with up to five members and five new split expenses per month. Editing expenses, recording settlements and viewing your history never count toward that limit.
