Splitting

The master bedroom is bigger than the box room. Equal splits are unfair. Here's the math.

The gym-rat's hot showers shouldn't punish the person who works from home. But the math has to be tractable.

Your friend earns €30k; you earn €90k. Equal-splitting feels off. Suggesting a 60/40 also feels off. Here's the script.

Equal-splitting a €240 bar tab when one person was on water all night is the fastest way to start a quiet resentment.

A 7-night stay with a €120 cleaning fee. Per night that's €17. Whose 'night' does that count toward?

Smart settlement gives you a payment plan. The actual money still has to move. Here's the cleanest path on each platform.

It's been three weeks since the trip. They've seen your messages. The €240 hasn't moved. Now what?

Edge cases

It's three weeks after the trip. Someone just remembered they paid €120 for the rental car. Now what?

Day 3 of a 7-day trip, someone has a family emergency and flies home. Now what about the villa they pre-paid €600 for?

The trip is over. Everyone settled. You don't want to delete the group, but you also don't want it cluttering your active list.
