Know what the trip will cost you
Because "how much more do I owe after the deposit?" shouldn't send the organiser back to a spreadsheet mid-trip.
Start for free →"How much more will this cost me?"
A family trip — friends, their partners, their kids. One person organises it, pays the deposits and holds all the numbers. And all trip long, the same question keeps coming: what was the accommodation, and how much do I still owe on top of the deposit I paid?
Every time, the organiser digs through spreadsheets to answer one person's question. The information exists — it's just locked in one head and a few files.
Day 2 of the trip, over breakfast
- KasiaWhat was the cabin again? And how much do we still owe?
- You (organiser)Give me a sec, I'll find the spreadsheet
- PiotrSame — did our deposit cover it or is there more?
- KasiaAnd the kids, do they count as full?
Three questions, one organiser, and an Excel file two laptops away.
The cost picture, laid out for everyone
The cost planner lays out the trip's planned costs so everyone can see their own share — no more asking the organiser. It doesn't move money or change the settlement; it's there to inform.
Add the planned costs
The organiser lists cost lines — accommodation, fuel, food — with how much each is budgeted at and who it's for.
Record deposits paid
Log the advances people have already paid, so each line shows what's budgeted, what's paid and what's still remaining.
Everyone sees their own share
Each person opens the trip and sees what they'll pay and what's left after their deposit. The organiser sees the whole picture.
No effect on the settlement
The planner is informational only. It sits alongside the expense settlement — it doesn't feed into who-owes-whom after the trip.
The organiser stops being the human spreadsheet
Answers the question before it comes
'How much more do I owe?' is answered in the app — people check their own share instead of asking.
Deposits are accounted for
Advances already paid are shown against each cost, so the remaining amount is clear at a glance.
Separate from the settlement
A planning view, not an accounting one — it informs without touching the final who-owes-whom.
