Step 1
Create the project
Name it (Cabo trip, Apartment 4B deposit, Sam's birthday dinner). Add the people involved.
All features
Fair expense splitter
Split rent deposits, trips, and dinners — fairly, in 30 seconds.
Equal splits work for pizza. They don't work when one roommate has the master bedroom or one friend joined the trip late. Tally lets you split any one-time cost three ways: equal, weighted (by room size, days attended, etc.), or by exact percentages — and then tracks who has paid whom.
- Three split methods: equal, weighted, percentage
- Settle-up tracking — see who owes whom at a glance
- Notes per project (purpose, dates, links to receipts)
- Export a clean breakdown to share with the group
- Free plan handles your first split project
- Pro unlocks unlimited projects and templates
How it works
From open to answer in under a minute
Step 2
Pick the split method
Equal for true 50/50. Weighted when stays differ in length or rooms differ in size. Percentage when you've already agreed on numbers.
Step 3
Mark payments as they happen
Tally shows running balances and the smallest set of payments needed to settle up. No 'who paid the Airbnb' debates.
Built for
Made for the way you actually live
Roommates moving in
Split the deposit by room size or move-in date. Save the project and reuse the rules for utilities.
Trip planners
Split the rental, the rental car, and the group dinners separately. Settle up once at the end.
Friend groups
When one person is the credit-card host, Tally tracks reimbursements clearly without nagging texts.
Couples + extended family
Holiday gift pools, joint gifts, shared travel — track everyone's contribution without an awkward spreadsheet.
Frequently asked
Answers, before you ask
How is this different from Splitwise?+
Tally focuses on one-time, intentional projects (a deposit, a trip, a group event) rather than ongoing roommate ledgers. The split methods are richer — weighted and percentage rules are first-class — and exports are cleaner if you want to forward to a group chat or accountant.
Can it handle a deposit returned at the end of a lease?+
Yes. Mark the project as Settled when paid in, then reopen and reverse it on return. Tally adjusts each person's balance using the same method you originally used.
Does it track who actually paid?+
Yes. Each project has a line for 'paid by' so the host gets correctly reimbursed. Tally calculates the optimal set of payments to zero everyone out.
Can I export the breakdown?+
Yes. CSV export with each line item, who owes whom, and a final settle-up summary. Perfect for sending to the group chat.
Is it free?+
Starter includes one active split project. Pro and Pro+ allow unlimited projects, templates, and saved member groups.
