How to split travel expenses
No more collecting receipts and building a spreadsheet after you get home. Record each expense as it happens, and the app takes care of the settlement.
-
Create a trip and invite friends
Trip mates you invite see the same expense history. You decide for each friend whether they can add and edit expenses.
-
Record what you spend
Tap Add Expense and enter the amount, currency, category and payment method (cash or card). Pick a trip day such as DAY 1 or DAY 2, or record costs paid in advance, like flights and hotels, under Preparation.
-
Choose who paid and who owes
Choose people under Paid by and Owed by, then tap 1/N to split the amount evenly. If people ordered different things, enter each person's amount yourself.
-
Check the Settlement tab
Somewhere compares what each person paid with what they spent, and shows who should send how much to whom. Make those transfers and you're all settled up.
Travel abroad without currency math
Record expenses in the local currency, whether that's yen in Japan or euros in Europe. Somewhere supports 50 currencies, and each trip can use up to three of them at once.
Amounts are converted using automatic exchange rates, and the trip host can also enter the actual rate you got. Totals and settlement amounts can be shown in any of the trip's currencies. The Rates & Currencies screen also includes an exchange rate calculator.
