An update: we’re still not planning to add the concept of a payment for a specific bill or a specific expense. We’ve left this idea under review for many years, but we’re not convinced it’s the right idea for Splitwise. We think focusing on a total balance makes things simpler in most cases. This is also how a bank balance works.
Here’s two potential work-arounds if you’re not satisfied:
1. Let’s say you want to set things up so you can see if people have specifically paid for a certain bill, or for a certain month of expenses. You can create a group just for that bill or month – then, when viewing that group, you will only see balances owed from that specific bill or set of bills.
2. Once you pay an amount and want to keep track of it being for a certain bill, you could use…

We’re definitely considering Bitcoin! We think cryptocurrencies are fascinating (seriously, we’ve held a Providence meet-up about them), and it’s something on our list of possible improvements for the future.
An error occurred while saving the comment 1. **Wider Acceptance:** The integration of Bitcoin into these platforms indicates a broader trend of acceptance of cryptocurrencies in the digital economy. This trend is likely to continue as blockchain technology becomes more understood and trusted.
2. **Innovative Payment Solutions:** Bitcoin offers an alternative payment method that can be especially appealing for international transactions due to its relatively low transaction fees and the absence of currency conversion fees.
3. **Decentralization and Security:** Bitcoin's decentralized nature appeals to users who prefer a system where their transactions aren't controlled by a central authority. This can also add a layer of security and privacy to transactions.

We’d love to integrate with Mint, but the decision is mostly on Mint’s side. If you’d like Mint to add Splitwise, you can let them know in the comments here:

An error occurred while saving the comment You can export and import data: you export the data from Splitwise in CSV format and then try to import it to Mint.com. This may require some manual correction of the data to make it fit the format that Mint needs.

Splitwise has some basic support for this now, depending on what you’re looking for. We now support multiple email addresses for a single account, so you can more easily share one account with multiple people.
However, we won’t automatically adjust how much you should owe as a “couple”. For example, if “Bob” adds an expense with “Sue and John’s Couple Account”, then the bill will be split 50/50 between those two Splitwise accounts. I can definitely see how it would be useful to automatically make Sue and John pay for 2 shares, but we’re unlikely to add that feature in the near future. For now, you can still work around this by manually using the “Split by shares” option when adding a bill, and assigning 2 shares to the relevant account.
An error occurred while saving the comment Joint or Family Account Feature: Implement a feature where users can create a joint or family account. This account would allow multiple users (in this case, family members or couples) to log in with their individual credentials but manage a shared pool of expenses and debts. This would keep everything centralized and simplify tracking shared expenses.
Multiple Email Addresses per Account: As you suggested, allowing multiple email addresses for a single account could be a practical solution. Each member of the family or couple could use their email address to access the same account. This would ensure that when friends try to add either person using their email, they are directed to the shared account.

Updating this because it’s been a while! We still haven’t added this to our roadmap.
As we mentioned we’ve found in testing that this behavior ends up confusing people, which is why we’ve chosen not to add it so far.We’ll continue to leave this under review for further voting and comments.
An error occurred while saving the comment To implement the feature you're describing, where a bill's impact on totals is delayed until its set date, you'll need to modify the logic in your application that handles bill postings and calculations of amounts owed. Here's a general approach you can take, assuming you're working with a typical software development stack:
1. **Date Tracking**: Ensure that each bill has a date associated with it, which represents when the bill should be considered 'active' in terms of affecting the total owed.
2. **Modify the Calculation Logic**:
- When calculating the amount owed, the system should check the current date against the dates of the bills.
- Only include bills in the total where the current date is on or after the bill's date.3. **Database Design**: If you're using a database, you might have a table for bills with columns like `amount`, `date`, `payer_id`, `payee_id`, etc. Ensure there's an index on the `date` column for efficient querying.
4. **Backend Changes**:
- When a request is made to fetch the total amount owed, the backend should filter out bills whose dates have not yet arrived.
- This logic would be in the part of your code where you calculate totals, possibly in a function or method that aggregates bill amounts.5. **Frontend Handling**:
- The frontend should also be aware that some bills are 'pending' and display them accordingly.
- You might show these future bills in a separate section or mark them visually to indicate they are not yet affecting the total.6. **Testing**:
- Ensure to test this feature thoroughly. You should test with bills set for dates in the past, present, and future to ensure the logic works as expected.
- Consider edge cases, like what happens at the exact moment a bill's date arrives.7. **User Interface**:
- It might be helpful to provide users with information about upcoming bills and how they will affect the total owed when their date arrives.
- A small notification or a different section showing upcoming bills and their impact might be useful.8. **Time Zone Considerations**: If your application is used across different time zones, ensure that the date comparison takes the user's time zone into account.
9. **Documentation and User Education**: Update any user guides or help documents to explain how this new billing date feature works, so users understand why a bill isn't immediately affecting their total owed.

We aren’t planing to add support for custom categories in the near future. We’re considering better ways to allow people to sort expenses into categories other than the ones we’ve provided. In the meantime, if there are particular important categories you feel are missing, feel free to email us with a suggestion at support@splitwise.com.
An error occurred while saving the comment My friend and I utilize the professional edition for comprehensive expense monitoring. We find this tool incredibly helpful, yet it could be made more user-friendly by adding a greater variety of categories.

There are some Windows 10 universal apps written by third party developers that work with Splitwise. Here are two we’re aware of:
Split It: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/split-it/9wzdncrdpfhg
SplitBook: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/splitbook/9nblggh6jkm6
We can’t endorse these apps specifically, but you may find them useful.

We just added a very basic calculator function to our web app, so you can now use basic mathematical operations when entering a cost (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). We hope to add similar features to our mobile apps at some point in the future!
An error occurred while saving the comment The idea of repurposing an existing empty button on the number pad for this function is smart and resourceful. It would not only conserve screen space but also maintain the interface's simplicity. Users who need to quickly tally up various items would find this feature particularly useful, as it would eliminate the need to switch back and forth between the bill entry interface and a separate calculator app or device.

An error occurred while saving the comment "Tracking individual spending patterns is a fantastic idea! It would not only provide clear insights into our personal finance habits but also help us make more informed decisions about our budgeting. This feature could be a game-changer for those of us looking to better understand and manage our expenses. I'm looking forward to seeing how Splitwise could implement this to help us all keep a closer eye on our spending categories!"
I've been reading through the discussion on the idea of applying payments directly to specific expenses in Splitwise. It's clear that while the current system focuses on overall balance, many of you are looking for more granularity in tracking payments for individual bills or expenses. While Splitwise has offered workarounds, I understand the need for a more direct solution.
In the meantime, for those looking for additional resources in managing and understanding complex calculations or financial concepts, I recommend checking out https://codinghomeworkhelp.org/c-plus-plus-assignment-help.html. It's not directly related to Splitwise's functionality, but the site offers insights and assistance that might be useful in managing complex financial scenarios.
