01 / Set up your stay

People × nights uses (adults + children × child share) × nights. Choose a method your group agrees on.

02 / Who's coming?

03 / Add the shared extras

Select only the households involved. Extras do not multiply shares by nights.

Book it. Split it. Request it.

04 / Collect household contributions

Cabin booked? Create a separate payment link for each household, then open a ready-to-send text or email. Add groceries or activities later and request those separately.

Sign in and save this trip first. Only costs already paid by the selected recipient can be requested. Existing requests and confirmed receipts are deducted so the same cost isn't requested twice.

Payment links for the recipient

Paste the recipient's own PayPal, Venmo or Cash App link. Household members will verify the account and enter the displayed amount in that service. These buttons don't transfer money automatically.

Payment requests

Each link shows only that household's requested costs and the recipient's payment options. Anyone with the link can view it. Text and email buttons prepare a message in your app; you review and send it. Confirm receipt here after checking your payment app. Confirmed contributions update the remaining reimbursements above. Unpaid requests do not count as money received.

Fair shares, explained.

How do I split a vacation rental by nights stayed?

Add each household's adults, children and nights. Choose People × nights. A household staying two nights contributes half the weight of an otherwise identical household staying four nights.

What if children should pay less?

Choose half, full or zero adult shares. This affects people-based splits. Household-based methods treat each household as one unit.

Can we split groceries or activities separately?

Yes. Choose who paid and which households participated. The settlement combines all bills. Amounts round to whole cents and always add up.

Is this free? Do we need accounts?

Guest use is free without an account. Optional ChatGPT sign-in lets you save private trips and reopen them across devices. Use one currency per trip. Share links are snapshots; live collaboration and automatic payments are not included.
