Adding Manual Expenses

How to record transactions, enter items, and assign custom splits.

When you don't scan a receipt via OCR, you can record group expenses manually.

Recording an Expense

  1. Open the target ledger.
  2. Tap Add Expense and select Manual Entry.
  3. Fill in the transaction fields:
    • Merchant: Where the purchase was made (e.g., "Toast Box").
    • Payer: The group member who paid the initial bill.
    • Subtotal: The sum of items before tax or service fees.

Handling Tax, Service & Discounts

You can add extra financial details to ensure accurate proportional splits:

  • Tax & Service: Input the absolute values. Settlr distributes these charges proportionally based on each person's individual item share.
  • Discount: If you had a discount, enter the value. It will be subtracted from everyone's final totals proportionally.

Item List Splitting

For itemized meals or trips, list items separately:

  1. Add an item name and its unit price.
  2. Assign which participants consumed the item.
  3. If shared equally, select all participants. If only eaten by specific people, check only their names.
