A way to show settle up amount for just the past month
I settle up on the first of the month or shortly thereafter. I'd like to see the settle up amount for just the previous month and exclude any recurring bills for next month that are already starting to showing up.
Two possible solutions for you:
If you use groups: Have you tried clicking the “view printable summary” link at the top of each month on our website? That link includes a total for each person for JUST that month, so that you can see how much each person spent/owes for a given month.
If you’re splitting all your bills with one other person: The “Trends” tab in the right-hand sidebar also includes a summary of monthly expenses. Click the “Trends” button at the top of the sidebar, then click the “View full charts” link at the bottom of the sidebar. You’ll be able to see your expenses broken down by category, as well as your total balance for the month.
If that doesn’t do what you’re looking for, let me know and I’ll pass on the suggestion.

I agree with the OP. While the suggestion from Admin is great to see your breakdown of the previous month, there is then no simple way to then just settle up the expenses from that month; instead you have to manually figure out the total that is owed to each person.

I do not use groups. I'm splitting all my bills with one other person. The trends button seems to do the trick, although it seems like more of a workaround than a solution. I would expect this to be more easily accessible.

Hey Ryan – sorry about that, I forgot that the "printable summary" feature only works for groups at the moment. I've updated our answer to include a method for viewing your monthly total with just one other person. Hope that helps!

Hmm, I can't seem to find a "view printable summary" link anywhere...
