Balances and transfers
After you log a shared expense, Debt Sync shows who owes whom.
How balances form
Every shared expense has people who paid and people who share the cost. For each person on that expense:
Net = amount paid − share
- A positive net means they are owed money.
- A negative net means they owe money.
Example: Alice pays ₹1000 for dinner. Alice’s share is ₹400. Bob’s share is ₹600.
| Person | Paid | Share | Net |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alice | ₹1000 | ₹400 | +₹600 (Bob owes her) |
| Bob | ₹0 | ₹600 | −₹600 (owes Alice) |
For paid-by versus sharers, see Paid by vs sharers.
What a transfer changes
A transfer records that money moved. See Record a transfer. The expense still shows who owes whom until you settle that transfer against the bill. See Settle an expense.
