Go to your list and tap the blue plus button on the Transactions tab. At the top of the screen, you will see the transaction type as set to Expense.
- First, enter a proper description and the total amount of the expense. When entering the amount, you can use the built-in calculator if necessary.
- You can change the currency. If you enter an amount in a currency other than the list currency, the amount will be converted to the list currency based on the rate at the time of entry. If you change the currency, the chosen currency will be remembered when entering the next expense.
- Optionally add a picture (for example, of the receipt).
- By default, the payer of the expense is set to you (Paid by). You can change this if you want to enter an expense for someone else.
- The default date is today. You can change this by tapping the date and choosing a different date.
- Finally, you specify who all should contribute to the expense and how much. You can choose to divide the expense equally among all participants by tapping “Everyone 1x”. You can adjust the distribution key if desired by changing the share (1x, 2x, etc). You can also enter a specific amount per participant by tapping the amount behind the participant and adjusting it. You can also use the calculator.
When you are done entering, tap Save at the top right. Depending on the notification settings of the other participants, they will receive a notification of the entered expense.
