How do I split a shared cost or asset with my partner?

Type the whole amount once — the full rent on the bill, the whole balance of the joint account — and mark it as shared. You never enter a shared cost twice. The control appears on each row once your plan has a partner, while you are in your own view or your partner’s; the Family view is read-only.

1. Switch to your own view or your partner’s with the plan switcher in the app bar.
2. On the row, tick Shared between you and your partner (for a cost, loan or goal) or Owned by you and your partner (for an asset or money coming in).
3. Choose Both equally, You pay more or your partner pays more (or owns more).
4. For an exact split, use Your part: a percentage, or press Enter as an amount.
5. Read the line beneath — your part and theirs, in money and per cent.

What the split changes

• In each person’s view, the row counts for that person’s part — half, unless you change it.
• In the Family view, it counts whole, with a chip saying it is shared and your share.
• Unticked, a row belongs only to the person whose view you are in.
• Your figures and your partner’s always add up to the Family figure.

What cannot be split

• Income is always one person’s. Enter each salary in its owner’s view.
• A statutory scheme belongs to one person. Each of you has your own copy of every scheme row.
