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.
Groups use expense-sharing apps to allow them to record payments of shared expenses (a restaurant check, golf fees, movie tickets, a utility bill) and determine what everyone owes or is owed. This allows group members to square up their accumulated debts at a more convenient time.
SquareUsUp can handle just about any expense-sharing situation that can be thrown at it:
Unequal splitting of expenses
Different participants in each transaction
Multiple payers
Refunds
Payments between group members
Use of a pot
Use of foreign currencies
SquareUsUp leads the way in providing:
Auditability ― a full ledger of users and transactions is right there in the spreadsheet
Transparency ― everyone can see how the numbers and balances were calculated, transaction by transaction
Fairness ― splits and participants in each transaction are explicitly documented for examination
SquareUsUp is also extremely easy to use, with built-in forms handling all data entry, editing, and reporting tasks. No Excel knowledge is needed.
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.
A powerful expense-sharing app built entirely in Excel. Everything you need to see who paid, who owes, and why.
Shown above is a SquareUsUp project for four friends on a road trip. Transactions can be entered and edited directly on the spreadsheet or using a simple fill-in form. Each payment is shown in a white cell underneath the payer. Blue S cells indicate responsibility for that payment was shared. If sharing wasn’t equal, the S is followed by the portion of the payment that group member is responsible for. Green R cells indicate receipt of money from other group members. Running balances are shown in the Balances section. Charges and Payments sections may also be displayed. Reports to itemize transactions and facilitate debt reconciliation may be produced with the click of a button.
Effortless, powerful group expense sharing.
