Understanding Balances

Settlement Algorithm

The settlement plan uses a greedy algorithm to minimize the number of transactions needed. Instead of everyone paying everyone else, it calculates the most efficient way to settle all debts.

Use Cases

• Splitting restaurant bills with friends
• Sharing vacation expenses
• Roommate utility bills
• Group gift purchases
• Road trip cost sharing
• Event planning expenses

Tips

• Add participants before adding expenses
• Use clear descriptions for each expense
• You can split expenses unevenly (not everyone has to share)
• The settlement plan shows the minimum transactions needed
• Take a screenshot of the settlement plan for reference
