Group gift expense splitter for birthdays, parties, and events
Add the gift as one expense, paid by the person who bought it and shared by everyone chipping in, and the balance shows who still owes them. A $150 present bought by one friend for five contributors means the other four owe $30 each. Delivery, wrapping or a card can go in as separate expenses.

Agree who is chipping in
Agree how much to spend and who is taking part before anyone buys. The group then shows the contributors and payments in one place, so nobody has to guess who still owes money.
If someone is not contributing, leave them out of the expense participants. A clear participant list prevents the gift cost from being assigned to people who did not agree to join.
- Add only the people who agreed to contribute.
- Use an equal split when everyone is contributing the same amount.
- Use exact amounts when people choose different contribution levels.
Record the gift and any extra costs
A group gift may include the main present, a card, wrapping, delivery, or a shared meal. Record each meaningful cost separately so the group can see what the total covered and who paid upfront.
The person who buys the gift can be different from the people who reimburse them. Record the payer and the participants separately to keep the final balance accurate.
Settle the group before the event
Review the shared balance before the birthday, wedding, party, or farewell event. The group can confirm the total, check outstanding contributions, and settle without reconstructing the numbers from a chat thread.
Keep personal purchases outside the gift group, and add a short description to each shared expense so the final total remains easy to explain.
