In one sentence

How do you split travel expenses?

Log who paid for what inside your LetsPackUp trip, split each cost evenly or by shares, and the app works out who owes whom — and can suggest as few transfers as possible to settle up.

Expenses live in the same trip as your itinerary, map and packing list, and everyone on the trip sees the same balances. LetsPackUp keeps the tally; you pay each other however you like and record it.

Postcards from inside the app

What does it work out for you?

One shared ledger per trip: who paid, who it was for, and who owes whom.

Log who paid, in any currency

Add a cost in seconds: what it was, how much, who paid and who it was for — in the currency you actually paid in. Costs on your itinerary can be tracked as group expenses too.

Split evenly or by shares

Not every trip splits down the middle. Set shares for the whole trip — say 60/40 when one of you takes the bigger room — split a single expense by hand, or leave out whoever skipped the dinner.

See who owes whom, then settle up

Balances update as soon as an expense is added. LetsPackUp can net everyone out and suggest as few transfers as possible to settle up, and you record each repayment once it is paid.

Keep the budget in sight

Set a trip budget and see what is spent, what is left and how much each remaining day can spend, with costs broken down by category — stays, flights, transport and more.

The route

How do you split costs on a group trip?

  1. Create a trip and invite your group

    Share one link and everyone joins the same trip, with the same expenses and balances.

  2. Log costs as they happen

    Add what it was, the amount and currency, who paid and who it was for.

  3. Choose how to split

    Keep it even, set shares for the whole trip, or split a single expense by hand.

  4. Settle up

    Follow the suggested transfers, pay each other your own way and record each repayment.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can we split costs unevenly?

Yes. By default everyone pays the same, but the trip owner can set shares for the whole trip — for example 60/40 — and anyone who can edit the trip can split a single expense by hand or leave out people who were not there.

What if we pay in different currencies?

Log each expense in the currency it was paid in. Amounts are never converted for the split, so each currency settles on its own and nobody gains or loses on an exchange rate. For an overview, totals can also be shown in the trip’s currency at today’s rate.

Does LetsPackUp move the money?

No. It works out who owes whom and suggests the transfers; you pay each other however you like, record the repayment, and the balances update. The original expenses stay as they were.

Who can see and add expenses?

Everyone on the trip sees the expenses and the balances. Members who can edit the trip add and change expenses; view-only members can look through them but not change anything.
