Sharing expenses with friends, family, or colleagues? Kixy's Split Money feature makes it easy to divide bills and keep track of who owes what. Whether you're splitting a restaurant bill, sharing household expenses, or dividing holiday costs, our Split Money feature helps you manage your shared expenses effortlessly.
Getting started
You can Split Money in two ways:
In a one-to-one Chat with an individual contact
Within a Circle (a group of multiple people)
Creating a new Split Money
First, open either your one-to-one Chat or Circle where you want to split money
Look for the Plus + icon next to where you type your messages and tap it
Select Split Money from the menu options
Tap + Add Bill to begin splitting and expense
Setting up the bill
When adding a bill, you'll need to specify several important details:
The payer
At the top of the screen, select who initially paid the bill
For example, if Sarah paid for everyone's dinner at a restaurant with her card, select Sarah as the Payer
This helps Kixy calculate who owes money from whom
Bill details
Enter the total amount that needs to be split
Choose a category from the menu. For example, "Payment"
Add a description (e.g. "Saturday dinner at Wetherspoons")
Tap Continue when you've entered these details
Choosing how to split
You have two options for splitting the bill:
Equal split
Divides the total amount equally between all participants
Perfect for shared meals or group activities where everyone owes the same amount
Manual split
Allows you to adjust how much each person owes
Useful when people ordered different items or should pay different amounts
Simply enter the specific amount each person needs to pay
Managing the split
After setting up how the bill is split:
Review the split to ensure all amounts are correct
Tap Add to confirm
You can now:
View Bill Details by tapping on the bill
See who the payer is and who owes money
Check individual amounts owed
Delete the bill if needed
Edit the bill to make adjustments
Adding multiple bills
Need to split more than one expense? Perhaps a taxi fare after your restaurant meal? You can:
Tap on the Plus + sign to add another bill
Follow the same steps as before for each additional expense
Kixy will automatically calculate the combined total
Finalising the split
When you've added all bills:
Check the Total to Split is correct
Tap Continue
Review the summary page carefully
Tap Send Split Request when you're satisfied everything is correct
What happens next?
After sending the split request:
A notification appears in your Chat or Circle
Everyone can see the total amount to be split
The amount left to pay is clearly displayed
Participants can easily track who has and hasn't paid their share
Tips for successful splitting
Add bills promptly while everyone remembers the expenses
Use clear descriptions to help others recall what each bill is for
Double-check amounts before sending split requests
Use the Edit function if you notice any mistakes
Keep track of payments through the Bill Details screen
🧠 Remember, you can always view and manage your splits by returning to the Chat or Circle where you created them. This helps everyone stay informed and up-to-date with shared expenses.
