Utility meter bill calculator
Hi Spltiwise,
I'm into my second year using Splitwise and I really enjoy it.
I use to manage all utility bills in a student house in the UK.
The way electricity and gas bills are done in the UK is on credit meters and commonly now a house's yearly usage is estimated and payments averaged over 12 months. And I have to take monthly meter readings for the utility company. This is naturally a nightmare to organize splitting my gas and electric bills. Because often housemates are away, so it's not a simple split.
What I currently do is manually calculate the bills with help of a spreadsheet. I do this based on the meter readings because I don't get bills regularly.
It would AMAZING if splitwise could have a new 'meters feature' whereby you set the meter tariff details.
e.g.
Electricity Unit Rate: 12.4p per kWh
Electricity Standing Charge: 27p per day
Gas Unit Rate: 2.63p per kWh
Gas Standing Charge: 22p per day
simply enter the current meter reading and it calculates the bill since your last meter reading. All your fantastic split features would fit in perfectly, you could just enter the number of days everyone has been in the house since the last reading.
It would be a feature I've not seen anywhere else.
Feel free to ask me any questions, because I would love to see this feature.
Thanks
Alex

This suggestion for a utility meter bill calculator on Splitwise is a game-changer! 🙌 I've been in a similar situation, sharing a house with multiple people, and the utility bills are always a headache to split. The idea of incorporating meter readings directly into the app would simplify the process immensely. I can't believe this feature doesn't exist yet; it would make life so much easier for everyone involved. On a related note, I'm working on a research paper about the evolution of fintech solutions for shared expenses. I've been considering using a writing service https://writemyessays.com/our-services.html to help me out. Has anyone here used such services?
P.S. How do you guys currently manage to split utility bills in a shared living situation? Any tips or hacks? 🤔

Good afternoon! I can say that I always consider writing an essay not only as a way to get an assessment, but also as an opportunity for myself to develop the skills of analysis, critical thinking and writing. Being involved in this process on my own helps me understand the material better and develop as a writer and student. However, I agree that sometimes, due to certain circumstances, I ask professional authors to write my essay for me https://writemyessayonline.com/ who seek to solve any problems of academic writing. In my opinion, getting support and help is good, but it is important to do it in accordance with the rules and values of the academic environment..

If you are looking for a service that delivers nursing papers on time without compromising quality, this online service is the perfect choice. The writers understand the importance of meeting deadlines, and they consistently delivered my papers within the specified timeframes.

I would also very much like to see this function in splitwise, it would really make my life easier, because as a student of the college of mathematics, living in the university 'dormitory' I was put mainly on the dormitory budget, this irritates me because at the end of the year I have to do a lot of calculations, besides this I decided to try other sources and I found this https://papersowl.com/capstone-project-writing-service ; already for two years I use this capstone paper writing service, to do at the end of the year calculations and to send this report to the dean of the college. For me this has become a tradition, and for the dean I have become a professional accountant.
