Track roommate expenses with Settle Up

Do you live in a shared flat? Then you and your roommates have to manage payment of many joined bills and expenses - starting with the rent and ending with toilet paper or new lightbulb. Settle Up can help you simplify tracking these expenses and it also tells you who should pay next.

It only takes few easy steps to make your life a lot simpler!

1) Create a shared group for you and your roommates

We suppose you and your roommates have already downloaded the app for iPhone, Android or use the web interface. You can create a new group like this:

Type your group name (For example "Flatmates"), enable group sharing (Sync & backup on Android) and add all your roommates. Choose roommates from your contact list or add them manually. You have to fill in email for every mate you want to share the group with.

2) Ask your roommates to connect to the shared group

Let your roommates run Settle Up, open group management screen and click on "Available shared groups" button. Click on your "Flatmates" group and voila you are now synced together.

3) Add your payments!

From now on enter all your payments related to your "Flatmates" group into Settle Up. Keep in mind that you are not only limited to expenses shared with all of your flatmates! Did you pay a dinner for one of your flatmates? Type it into Settle Up and it will be later used to cover your flat related expenses.

This may sound a bit like magic, but it is truly simple. After you bought your flatmate a dinner, he owes you 5 bucks and Settle Up now knows about it. Lets say that the same flatmate later pays 24 bucks for washing machine repair. If you are 4 flatmates it makes 8 bucks for everyone. Now the other two flatmates owe him 8 bucks, but you only owe 3, because you have a prepaid credit with him!

 

4) Check who should pay next

Is it time to pay the electricity bill? Check who is in the red and let them pay the bill! In Android version you can find out "Who should pay?" info on the Summary tab and iPhone version shows this on the homescreen.

5) Someone leaving the flat?

Never mind, simply open the settle debts screen and get even by making the final settlement.

6) Do you have a new flatmate?

No problem. Simply add him/her to your group. He/she will start with zero on the account, which changes with the first payment.
