Split expenses and track who owes what

Expenddyis a free app for shared costs. Record an expense once — who paid, how much, and who shares it — and Expenddy works out each person's share, keeps a running balance of who owes whom, and records the payment when someone settles up.

Free to use. Available for Android and in any web browser. An iOS app is in development and is not released yet — see download options.

Three ways to split an expense

Every expense in Expenddy is divided one of three ways. Exact and percentage splits have to add up to the total before Expenddy will save the expense, so a mistyped share cannot quietly leave the balances wrong.

The three split methods available on every Expenddy expense.
MethodWhat you enterExampleBest for
EqualThe total is divided evenly between everyone included in the split.A £120 dinner shared by 4 people gives each person a £30 share.Everyone consumed roughly the same thing — a shared taxi, a group dinner, a joint gift.
ExactYou type each person's share as a currency amount.A £120 grocery run where £70 was one person's own items and £50 was shared: enter £70 and £50 directly.People consumed clearly different amounts and you know the real numbers.
PercentYou give each person a percentage of the total.Rent of £1,000 split 60/40 between two people gives shares of £600 and £400.The ratio is stable but the amount changes each time — rent by room size, a bill split by income.

How Expenddy works

  1. Create a group

    Start a group for the trip, the flat, the couple or the one-off event, and give it a name. Group types are General, Trip, Home, Couple and Other.

  2. Add the people sharing the cost

    Invite members by email, phone number or an invite link. People who are not on Expenddy yet can be invited, and the invitation attaches to their account when they sign up.

  3. Record an expense

    Enter the amount and what it was for, choose who paid, pick who shares it, and choose the split method — equal, exact amounts or percentage. Attach a photo of the bill if you want a record of it.

  4. Check the balances

    Expenddy recalculates immediately and shows what you owe and what you are owed, per person. There is no mental arithmetic and no spreadsheet to update.

  5. Settle up and record it

    Pay whoever you owe in cash or by whatever transfer you normally use, then record the settlement in Expenddy. The balance clears, and the payment stays in the settlement history. If you record it wrongly, you can void or edit it.

Common questions

What is Expenddy?

Expenddy is an expense-splitting and expense-tracking app for shared costs. Groups of people record expenses they share — rent, a restaurant bill, a trip, the weekly shop — and Expenddy calculates each person's share, keeps a running balance of who owes whom, and records payments when people settle up. It is available as a free Android app on Google Play and as a web app at expenddy.com.

How does Expenddy split expenses?

When you add an expense you enter the total, choose who paid it, and select which members share it. You then pick one of three split methods: equal, exact amounts, or percentage. Expenddy turns that into a share for each person, subtracts what they already paid, and updates the balances immediately. Nobody has to do the arithmetic.

Can Expenddy track who owes whom?

Tracking who owes whom is Expenddy's main function. Every expense updates a running balance for each member, and each group shows what you owe and what you are owed, broken down per person. Balances recalculate whenever an expense is added, edited or deleted.

Does Expenddy actually move the money?

Expenddy does not move, hold or transfer money, and it is not a bank or a payment service. You pay each other however you already do — cash, bank transfer, or any payment app — and then record in Expenddy that the payment happened. Expenddy is the record of who owes what, not the mechanism for paying it.

How much does Expenddy cost?

Expenddy is free to use. There is no paid tier and no subscription. The Android app is a free download from Google Play, and the web app is free to use at expenddy.com.

Where can I download Expenddy?

The Expenddy Android app is a free download from Google Play. You can also use Expenddy in a browser at expenddy.com without installing anything — it is the same account and the same data. An iOS app is in development and has not been released yet; iPhone and iPad users can use the web app in Safari in the meantime.
