Settle Up – Group Expenses

Settle Up helps settle debts and emotions with its convenient features. Whether you're a traveler, flatmate, couple, event organizer, or part of a friend group, this app is ideal for tracking expenses and IOUs effortlessly.

Settle Up Tips

Group circles are your friends!

Group circles show the balances in the group. The bigger the circle, the bigger the debt. The person with the biggest debt in the middle should pay next. You can easily create a new expense with this member as the payer by clicking on the circle.

Incomes are useful for deposits and more

Got money back from a deposit? Add it as an income. It acts as a negative expense, so it lowers down the total spent amount. It's also useful in other cases where the group actually earns some money.

Exchange rates are from Yahoo, but you can change them

If you add a transaction in a different currency, the exchange rate is automatically downloaded from a Yahoo service based on the current exchange rate for each day. You can see it on the transaction detail screen. You can edit the exchange rate or the calculated amount in group currency. If you do that, all future transactions will use this exchange rate until you change back to current by clicking on three dots on the card. This is useful when you want to use one exchange rate for the whole vacation. You can also change all exchange rates from Edit group screen.

Default share is useful for couples and families

When you edit a member, you can set a default share. If you set it to 2 for example, this member will count as two in all new transactions. It's useful for couples and families - if these people act together as one financial unit, create one member with a higher default share.

A member left the group? Disable them for new transactions

If somebody left your group, you don't want to delete them permanently. That would alter the history and debts. However, you can edit the member and uncheck "Include this member in new transactions". This member then won't appear in future transactions.

Say which member you are for better experience

If you go to the member detail screen, you can check "This is me". If you do that, this member (you) will be automatically pre-selected as who paid in future transactions. You will see a small dot next to the avatar which will highlight you.

Add member photos for a nicer group

When there is no member photo, we show a grey avatar with the first letter of the name. It could be confusing if you have multiple people with the same first letter. Add photos to members in the member detail and the whole app will be nicer and more intuitive.

Debts are settled, now archive the group

With old, inactive groups, it's best to archive them. They won't clutter the main screen and the app will load faster. Anyone can do this in the Edit group screen, when the debts are settled. Anybody can then preview the group from the My groups screen. Only the owner can restore the group.

Turn off debt minimization to pay only direct debts

Our debt algorithm is battle-tested and you can rely on it. It minimizes the number of transactions between people by transferring debts, so you might end up paying to somebody you don't directly owe. If you don't like that, you can turn off debt minimization in the Edit group screen.
