Final group hisaab settle karo, payment maze nahi.

A group does not need one transfer for every expense. Add everything first, correct the participant list, then settle net balances so the number of payments stays manageable.

Step by step

Clear process. Less friction.

Use these steps as a starting point, then adapt the timing and split to your group’s actual agreement.

  1. 01

    Review every expense

    Check the total, payer, split and participants. Resolve refunds and duplicate entries before anyone sends money.

  2. 02

    Calculate net balances

    Subtract each person’s fair share from what they paid. Positive balances receive money; negative balances owe money.

  3. 03

    Minimise transfers

    Match the largest amount owed with the largest amount receivable and continue until all balances reach zero.

  4. 04

    Confirm each settlement

    The sender marks the transfer and the receiver confirms it. Keep the group open until every payment is acknowledged.

Worked example

Why netting helps

If A owes B ₹600 and B owes C ₹500, the group can often settle with A paying C ₹500 and B ₹100, instead of preserving every original reimbursement path.
