Who owes who, in the fewest payments.
Splitting costs with friends used to be easy. Then the apps started capping you at a handful of expenses a day, showing ads, and asking for $40 a year to make it stop. Tab is the whole job in one file that runs on your computer. No account, no limit, no monthly fee.
One person keeps the tab, adds the expenses as they happen, and pastes the summary into the group chat. That is all a group ever needed.
WHAT IT DOES
- Groups for a trip, a shared house or a one-off event, each with its own people and currency
- Five ways to split: equally, exact amounts, percentages, shares (one person counts double), or line by line from the receipt with tax and tip spread in proportion to what each person had
- Two or more currencies in one trip: type the rate once, see both amounts, get every balance in your home currency
- Settle up: the fewest payments that clear every balance, with a Mark paid button and a record of what has been paid
- A card per person: what they paid, what they used, what they owe or get back
- Monthly rent and bills for house groups: mark them as repeating, post this month's copies with one click
- Insights: where the money went by category, who paid versus who used, spend by day
- Copy a plain-text summary for the group chat, print a clean settle-up sheet, export a CSV with every person's share per expense
- Backup and restore, so the tab can move to another person's computer
Who it's for
The person in the group who always ends up doing the maths. Trips with friends, flatmates, stag and hen weekends, family holidays, club events.

Tab
group expense splitter: trips, roommates and events, split by receipt line, settle up in the fewest payments, no limits and no subscription
The expense-splitting apps now cap you at a few expenses a day and charge $40 a year to lift it. Tab is the whole thing in one file: groups for a trip, a flat or an event, five ways to split (equal, exact, percent, shares, receipt line by line with tax and tip spread fairly), two currencies in one trip, a settle-up plan that clears everyone in the fewest payments, and a summary you paste into the group chat.
One-time price in US dollars, checkout by Stripe. After paying you land on a page with your download link. Each link works for 15 minutes, and reopening that page makes fresh ones.
