How to Split Expenses in Moneko

Splitting expenses in Moneko is simple.

When you use a shared Space, Moneko can split expenses automatically, let you adjust the split when needed, and help you settle everything in one place.

You do not need spreadsheets, manual calculations, or a separate bill-splitting app.

Automatic Splitting in a Shared Space

When you log an expense in a shared Space, Moneko splits it evenly by default.

For example, if you enter:

• Dinner 120

and there are two people in the Space, Moneko splits it as:

• 60 / 60

You do not need to calculate anything yourself.

Expected Result

The expense is added to the shared Space and split evenly between members by default.

How to Customize a Split While Logging

If the split is not equal, you can say how it should be split while logging the expense.

For example:

• Dinner 120, 80 for me, 40 for Bob
• Taxi 50, I paid all
• Groceries 90, 30 for me, 60 for others

Moneko understands the split from your entry and adjusts it automatically.

If you do not specify a custom split, the expense stays evenly split.

Expected Result

The expense is recorded with the custom split you included in your message.

Best Practice

Include the total amount and how much each person should cover when the split is uneven.

How to Edit a Split Later

To edit a split:

1. Tap the transaction.
2. Open the transaction details.
3. Edit the split.
4. Save your changes.

You can change:

• who paid
• how much each person owes

Updates apply instantly for everyone in the Space.

Expected Result

The shared transaction updates for everyone in the Space after you save the edited split.

How to See Who Owes What

Moneko keeps track of shared balances automatically.

On the main page of your shared Space, you can see:

• total spent by each person
• number of transactions
• who owes whom

This helps everyone understand the current balance without checking manually.

Expected Result

You can quickly see shared spending and balances from the main page of the shared Space.

How to Settle Up

When you want to clear balances, use Settle Up.

To settle up:

1. Tap the summary widget.
2. Open Settle Up.
3. Tap Settle.

Moneko records the settlement and updates everything automatically.

Expected Result

The balance is cleared or updated after settlement is recorded.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

My Expense Split Evenly, but I Wanted a Custom Split

If you do not specify a custom split, Moneko splits the expense evenly by default.

To use a custom split, include the split while logging.

For example:

• Dinner 120, 80 for me, 40 for Bob

I Entered the Wrong Split

You can edit it later.

Tap the transaction, open details, edit the split, then save.

I Cannot See Who Owes What

Make sure you are viewing the main page of the correct shared Space.

Balances are shown based on the transactions inside that Space.

The Balance Looks Wrong

Check whether:

• the expense was added to the correct Space
• the split was entered correctly
• the correct person was marked as the payer
• any missing transaction needs to be added

I Settled Up, but the Balance Changed

This can happen when new expenses are added after settlement.

Moneko updates balances automatically based on the latest transactions and settlements in the Space.
