2 payments settle everyone.

Sample data. Nothing here changes your sheets.

How to use it

  1. Step 1 of 4: Open a sheet with other people, a guest or someone who pays you back (a personal sheet gets Settle up too, once it has a guest or a payback) and tap its Settle up button at the top (on iPhone, ≡ at the top right › Settle up), or the balance strip above your entries.
  2. Step 2 of 4: Simplified shows the fewest payments that settle everyone. Tap Why? to see the debts each one replaces.
  3. Step 3 of 4: Owed money? Tap Request to send a payment link. Owe money? Tap Pay to pay with a UPI app, or I paid once you have (on the web, I paid is in the ··· menu).
  4. Step 4 of 4: When someone says they paid you, tap Got it once the money arrives, or Not yet. Payments you record yourself count at once.

Good to know

  • Every debt lists exactly who owes whom from each split. Paying those works too. You can forgive what someone owes you: ··· on the web, swipe left on iPhone.
  • Pay one entry on its own: open it and tap Mark paid (I paid if you owe, or Mom paid this back for one she pays back), or open a person’s entries in Every debt. Payments as a whole skip entries already paid.
  • Splits and reimbursements are paid separately. Money someone pays you back (Record reimbursement here, or Reimbursement in New entry) clears only what they pay back, never a split.
