Should I add my expenses manually?

Can I split an expense unevenly?

The share of each participant can be adjusted by clicking on the "Equally" button in the Split area when creating an expense. You can then increase the share of each participant by manually editing their share or amount.

Example: There’re 3 roommates using Tricount to divide a rent of $1,050: Alex contributes $400, Bryan contributes $350, and Julia contributes $300. When you add this expense, you can use these figures as shares or as individual amounts.

How can I add a reimbursement (transfer) or income?

You add a reimbursement like a new expense, but you have to switch it to a "transfer". You can also mark a reimbursement suggested by the app as "paid" directly in the Balances screen via the "Mark as paid” option.

I received a link to a tricount. How can I join?

Ta on the link that you received on your phone. The app handles the rest.

Does Tricount work with different currencies?

Tricount enables you to create tricounts using a single currency. You can enter expenses in different currencies. However, if the default currency is EUR, the reimbursement suggestion will be shown in EUR, regardless of the currencies of your expenses.

The amount is converted according to the market rate and the app provides you with a daily exchange rate.

You can also manually edit the rate for a currency at any time for each expense. In that case, you can decide whether or not to use it for future expenses. This setting will not impact the expenses that other participants add to the tricount.
