Custom split

Not every expense splits evenly. KUENTAS lets you customize exactly how each expense is divided among participants.

Split types

Equal shares

The amount is split evenly among the selected people

By percentage

Each person pays a different percentage

By amount

You specify exactly how much each person pays

By shares

One person pays 2 shares, another pays 1, etc.

Percentage split

Useful when you want someone to pay more or less proportionally.

1

In the expense, tap "Split"

Open the split options for the expense.

2

Choose "By percentage"

Select this split type.

3

Assign percentages

Enter what percentage each person pays. They must add up to 100%.

Example: Dinner of $1000. Juan pays 50%, María 30%, Pedro 20%.

  • Juan: $500
  • María: $300
  • Pedro: $200

Exact amount split

When you already know exactly how much each person owes.

1

Choose "By amount"

In the split options.

2

Enter the amounts

Type how much each person owes. They must add up to the expense total.

Example: Grocery shopping $800. María bought $500 worth, Juan $300.

Shares split

Ideal when someone consumed more than others.

1

Choose "By shares"

In the split options.

2

Assign shares

Indicate how many shares each person gets.

Example: Lunch $900. Juan had the main course and dessert (2 shares), María just the main course (1 share).

  • Total shares: 3
  • Value per share: $300
  • Juan: $600 (2 shares)
  • María: $300 (1 share)

Exclude participants

If someone didn't take part in the expense, just leave them out of the split:

  • Uncheck their name in the participant list
  • Or set them to 0% / $0 / 0 shares
Remember

The split can be changed later by editing the expense. Don't stress if it's not perfect the first time.
