Split payments smarter with the world’s best expense-sharing spreadsheet.
(And it’s totally free.)
SquareUsUp is an intuitive and comprehensive premade Excel spreadsheet that makes the splitting and tracking of shared group expenses remarkably simple.
By using an expense-sharing app like SquareUsUp, a group can record payments of shared expenses (a restaurant check, golf fees, movie tickets, a utility bill) to let the app determine what everyone owes or is owed. This allows group members to square up their accumulated debts at a more convenient time.
SquareUsUp allows for unequal splitting of expenses, different participants in each transaction, multiple payers, refunds, payments between group members, the use of a pot, foreign currency transactions, and combinations of all of the above. And all of this while requiring no Excel knowledge whatsoever.
Yes, “world’s best” is a bold claim, but we can back it up. SquareUsUp is the only spreadsheet that elegantly implements every essential feature a serious group expense-sharing app must have.
Perfect for roommates, vacations, sports groups, clubs, group events, and any situation where expenses may be shared.
