Work out group expense settlement instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Settling a group trip means comparing what each person paid against their fair share. A weighting factor handles unequal consumption — someone who skipped the expensive dinner should not carry a full share — and the difference is the single transfer that squares things up.
Settlement
fair share = total / people x weighting; settlement = what I paid - my fair share
Because a group of four can otherwise generate twelve small transfers. Netting each person against their fair share reduces it to one payment each.
Agree them up front. Common cases are children counted as half, or someone absent for part of the trip counted pro rata.
