How it works

  1. All payments are added up and divided by the number of people — that’s each person’s share.
  2. Each person’s balance is what they paid minus their share. Positive — they get money back; negative — they pay.
  3. The person who owes the most pays the one who’s owed the most, and so on. That keeps transfers to a minimum: at most one fewer than the number of people.

Example

Mike paid 300,000, Sarah 200,000, Tom 100,000. Total 600,000, 200,000 each. Mike gets back 100,000, Tom pays 100,000 — one transfer: Tom → Mike 100,000.
