One person books the hotel, another covers dinner, and someone else pays for a taxi. You do not need to repay every expense separately. Add the shared costs and compare each person's total contribution with their share.
One trip, two payers
Ana, Ben, Cam and Dan split a USD 200 hotel and a USD 100 dinner equally. Ana paid for the hotel and Ben paid for dinner. Each person owes USD 75 overall.
| Person | Paid | Share | Balance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ana | 200.00 | 75.00 | Gets back 125.00 |
| Ben | 100.00 | 75.00 | Gets back 25.00 |
| Cam | 0.00 | 75.00 | Owes 75.00 |
| Dan | 0.00 | 75.00 | Owes 75.00 |
SplitSeas suggests Cam pays Ana USD 75, Dan pays Ana USD 50, and Dan pays Ben USD 25. This balances the group without sending any money.
Keep each expense accurate
- Use the amount actually paid, in its original currency.
- Enter the expense date so the right reference rate can be requested.
- Include only those who shared that expense. Someone who missed dinner can still share the hotel.
- Use relative weights when one person's agreed share is larger.
- When multiple people paid for one item, their contributions must add up exactly.
Before you leave the tab
Your trip lives only in the current browser tab. Refreshing or closing it clears the inputs. Copy a summary before you leave. A shared link contains a read-only result, not an editable group ledger. SplitSeas does not remember trips, update balances after repayment or collaborate across devices.
Traveling across currencies? See the USD and MXN example. For different room shares, use weighted splitting.
