Getting started

What is Budgetsplit?

An app for keeping track of shared money: a household budget, costs split with friends, or just your own spending. Everyone in a group sees the same numbers.

Where can I use it?

In any modern browser at manage.budgetsplit.app, and on Android phones. An iPhone app is on the way; until then the web app works well in Safari.

Can I sign up now?

Budgetsplit is in early access. Ask for an invite and we'll get back to you within a few days.

Is it free?

Yes. The free plan has no daily limits and no ads. Plus adds more groups, people and extras for €2.99 a month once payments open.

Groups and people

What kinds of groups are there?

A personal space only you can see, a family or couple group for a shared budget, and a friends group for splitting costs.

How do people join my group?

Share your group's invite code: people ask to join and you approve them. Or invite someone by email: once they're signed in with that address, they can join in one tap.

Do children need an account?

No. In a family group, add them as people without accounts. You can choose them as the person who spent something and give them their own budget.

Who can manage a group?

The owner and any admins look after members, categories, budgets and invites. Members add and edit their own entries. Admins come with Plus.

Adding and splitting

How do splits work?

Split an expense equally, by exact amounts or by percent. Every share adds up to the cent, and balances update straight away.

Can I record income and transfers?

Yes. Income, spending and transfers between people are kept apart, so budgets and balances stay right.

Which currencies can I use?

Each group uses one currency: euros, US dollars, pounds, rupees, or Canadian or Australian dollars. Entries in other currencies are on our list.

Can entries repeat?

On Plus, recurring entries add rent, subscriptions and instalment plans for you when they're due.

Budgets and check-ins

How do budgets work?

Set a monthly limit for any expense category, for the whole group or for one person. You'll see what's left and get a heads-up when a budget is nearly used.

What is a check-in?

A short look back at the month, or the week on Plus: what was spent, what needs attention, and a note for next time. Everyone can mark it as reviewed.

Does Budgetsplit connect to my bank?

No. You add entries yourself, which keeps your bank details out of it. Importing from a CSV file is on our list.

Plans and early access

What's in Plus?

As many groups as you like, more people and admins, weekly check-ins, recurring entries and more categories of your own. Everyone in your groups gets the Plus features.

How does the free year work?

Join during early access and we'll add twelve months of Plus to your account. There's no card, and nothing renews on its own.

What if my Plus ends?

Nothing is deleted. Your groups keep what they have but can't grow past the free limits, and admins become members.

Privacy and your account

Where is my data stored?

In the EU, in Frankfurt, Germany. It's encrypted in transit and at rest.

Who can see what I add?

Only the members of the group you add it to. Your personal space is only for you. We don't sell data or show ads.

I forgot my password.

Choose 'Forgot password?' on the sign-in page and follow the link in the email. With two-step sign-in on, you'll also need your code.

How do I delete my account?

In Settings, choose Delete account. You'll be asked to sign in again first. The account deletion page explains what happens to your data.
