1. Go to Family House and click Members & Activity on a house.
2. Open the Split Expenses tab.
3. Choose a mode: Monthly Split for day-to-day shared costs, or Special Event or Occasion for one-off events (see step 6).
4. Pick the month with the ‹ › arrows or the month box.

Four cards summarise the month for you:

Under Expenses, click + Add expense:

Choose how to split

Tick the members who take part. Members who have passed away are hidden from the payer and participant lists.

• List by Date, Entered By, Paid By or Category — each group shows its count and total, and a filter lets you focus on one date, person or category.
• Each row shows the split badge (e.g. Equal ÷4), who paid, who entered it, the date and your share.
• Row actions: View, Edit, Duplicate and Delete.
• The summary panel underneath adds up Last Date By, By Payer, By Category, By Date and Shares.
• The list refreshes every 30 seconds while it is open.

Open Settle up. Gripar nets everything out and shows the fewest payments needed — for example “Ramesh pays Sunita ₹850”.

1. When someone pays back, mark that settlement as paid.
2. Added or changed expenses? Settlements update automatically while the month is open; Recalculate forces a refresh.
3. When everyone agrees, click Finalize Month. Expenses for that month are then locked — you can still view and report on them.
4. Unpaid balances can be moved on with Copy to Next Month; they appear as an opening balance there.

Open Reports (or click Report above the list):

Weddings, pujas, trips and festivals often run across months and involve only some members. Keep them separate so they don't mix with monthly sharing.

1. Switch the mode to Special Event or Occasion and click + New event.
2. Choose the type — Wedding, Festival, Puja / Ritual, Birthday, Anniversary, Trip / Tour, Party, Funeral / Shraddh, Griha Pravesh or Other — and an optional budget.
3. Add Event members from the house members.
4. Inside the event use the tabs Expenses, Payments (advances or contributions), Settle up and Report.
5. When done, Close event. A closed event is read-only; Re-open it if something was missed.

The events list shows Active, Closed or All events, each with total spend, a budget bar, members and your net. Event reports export to Excel, PDF or Print.
