Equal ya percentage split: fair share kaise choose karein?

Each person receives an agreed share of 100% of the total.

Comparison FAQs.
Which is better: Equal split or Percentage split?
The better choice depends on your group. Choose Equal split when its strengths match your main workflow, and Percentage split when the priorities in that column matter more. Use the decision questions on this page before moving live balances.
Should I test both options first?
Yes. Use one real but low-risk group for a week, check how easily members add expenses and settle, then choose the workflow people will actually maintain.
