Split rent fairly, let recurring bills log themselves, and close every month in the fewest payments.

## The problem

### The group chat is the ledger

“Who paid for the wifi this month??” Scrolling back through messages is not accounting.

### Bigger room, same rent?

Equal splits feel unfair when one room has a balcony and another is a box room.

### Everyone owes everyone a bit

Lots of small debts turn into lots of small transfers — and lots of reminders.

## How Traxpend helps

### Shares by room size

Agree the split once — rent and every bill follow it.

### Rent and utilities on autopilot

Monthly costs log themselves, so nobody has to remember.

### Reminders before due dates

Electricity, Wi-Fi and gas reminders land before the bill does.

### Fewest payments at month end

Traxpend untangles who owes whom into the minimum number of transfers.

## Example: Flat 4B

Split rule: By room size. Members: Darshan (40%), Rohan (30%), Ashish (30%). Amounts are in ₹.

| Expense | Amount (₹) |
| --- | --- |
| Rent | 32,000 |
| Electricity | 2,140 |
| Groceries | 6,480 |
| Wi-Fi | 999 |

2 payments settle the month.

## FAQ

### What if a flatmate moves out mid-month?

They settle up and leave; their past expenses stay in the flat’s history, and the shares re-split equally among whoever is left (unless you set custom shares).

### Will my flatmates see my personal spending?

No. Everyone has a Personal space only they can see. The flat is a separate shared space.

### Can we pay each other through the app?

Traxpend gives each person a UPI QR or payment link for their usual app. The money moves directly between you.

### Is it free for a flat of four or five?

Yes — the free plan covers spaces of up to five people. Bigger flats can upgrade to Pro.
