Your result will appear here.

Calculation happens in your browser. No account, automatic input saving or backend submission.

How to use this tool

  1. Agree which expenses all participants share equally.
  2. Aggregate each payer’s total in one currency.
  3. Enter distinct names with decimal amounts, one per line.
  4. Calculate, review the cents and agree on transfers outside this tool.

How the calculation works

Round payments to cents; divide total into cent shares with remainders in input order; match debtors and creditors until balanced.

A practical example

Alex, 120; Bea, 30; Chen, 0 creates a 150 total and 50 share each: Bea pays Alex 20, Chen pays Alex 50.

Load example restores the illustrative inputs and calculates. Reset restores those input defaults and clears the result. When an input changes, calculate again before exporting so your saved record matches the current assumptions.

Common mistakes

  • Including a personal purchase in the shared pool.
  • Mixing currencies or using a comma thousands separator.
  • Recording a settlement transfer as new shared travel spending.

Limitations and interpretation

2–20 travelers; equal shares only; one currency and two-decimal cents; no private purchases, transaction-level allocation or guaranteed minimum transfer count.

The result answers the stated calculation only. Check real bookings, provider rules and current route details separately where they affect your travel. Text exports are snapshots; the site does not synchronize or import saved results.

Privacy and your records

Use minimal names, not account numbers. No payments are sent; downloadable files may contain names and totals.

Read the privacy policy for hosting and device boundaries. Downloaded files and clipboard contents exist outside this page.

Frequently asked questions

Does it send payments?

No. It calculates a plan and does not connect to a payment service.

What if shares are unequal?

Use a detailed ledger or another method. This tool deliberately models only equal benefit and equal shares.

How are leftover cents allocated?

The first names in input order receive the extra cent shares. Every cent remains accounted for.
