How to split Bali trip costs with friends

Agree each person’s share of the Bali accommodation, then record the villa, transport, food and other shared expenses under whoever paid. Include cash purchases and select who shared each cost. Questions

Agree each person's share of the villa before booking, then record shared transport, food and other costs as you pay them. Include cash payments as well as card purchases so the final balance covers both.

Track the shared costs

  1. Choose the room currency

    Rupiah is useful when most expenses are priced locally. You can still add a booking paid in another supported currency.

  2. Record accommodation and deposits separately

    Keep a refundable deposit identifiable so you can account for it when it is returned.

  3. Add cash purchases promptly

    Record the driver, meals and laundry under whoever paid. Select only the people sharing each expense.

If someone stays for fewer nights

Agree whether the accommodation is split by booked places or by nights stayed. An early departure does not reduce the villa's booking price, so decide who covers that cost before someone leaves. Check their balance before they go and agree how any later refund will be shared.
