Expense splitting divides each receipt of a shared Pocket between the people in the group. facturillo keeps track of how much each person paid and how much is theirs, tells you who owes whom and lets you record payments to settle up.

What it is for

  • A trip, a shared home or a group outing, without doing the maths by hand.
  • Splitting a receipt in equal parts, in exact amounts or in percentages.
  • Seeing at a glance whether you are owed, whether you owe or whether you are settled up.
  • Recording a payment between two people and, if you like, saving it as your own expense too.

Before you start

  • Splitting works in a shared Pocket, and sharing a Pocket is a facturillo Pro feature. See Invite someone to a Pocket.
  • The person who created the Pocket turns it on, from their personal account.

Turn on splitting

1

Tap the Pockets tab, the last one in the bottom bar, and open the Pocket. Tap the three-dot menu at the top right and choose Edit Pocket.

2

In the SHARE section, the Shared Pocket switch has to be on. The EXPENSE SPLITTING section appears below it.

3

Turn on Split expenses between members and tap Save. From then on, each receipt is split equally when it is added to the Pocket.

Adjust how a receipt is split

1

Inside the Pocket, swipe the receipt to the left and tap Split. You can also open the receipt and tap the Split row.

2

In the Split receipt sheet, pick under Paid by who paid, then the mode: Equal parts, Exact amounts or Percentages. Tick the people who take part.

3

Tap Save split. If that receipt should not be shared out, tap Do not split.

In the Pocket's list, each split receipt shows Your share, and the ones you left out say Not split.

See the balances and settle up

1

On the Pocket screen, tap the Balances card. The card already shows where you stand: You are owed, You owe or You are settled up.

2

On the Balances screen you see each person's balance under BY MEMBER, the payments worth making under SETTLE-UP SUGGESTIONS and the payments already recorded under HISTORY.

3

When someone pays, tap Settle next to the suggestion. In Record payment, check the Amount, add a Note and the Date if you like, and tap Record payment at the bottom.

4

With Add to my expenses on (it comes on), the payment is also saved as a manual expense in your account. Pick its Category before recording.

Tip

If you recorded a payment by mistake, under HISTORY swipe the payment to the left and tap Delete. Confirm with Delete in Delete payment and the balances are recalculated. Only the person who recorded the payment or the Pocket owner can delete it: for everyone else the payment does not swipe.

If you are on the Free plan

You cannot turn on Shared Pocket: tapping that row opens the Pro plans screen, and without a shared Pocket the EXPENSE SPLITTING section does not appear.
