For Couples
Money shouldn't be complicated between two people who trust each other
Make It Even tracks who paid for dinner, groceries, and the weekend away, so you always know where you stand without needing to bring it up.
The usual headaches
- One person always ends up paying for things and quietly keeping score
- Different incomes make 50/50 feel unfair, but working out percentages by hand is tedious
- Bringing up an old unpaid tab feels petty, but it adds up
- Shared subscriptions and household bills fall through the cracks because nobody wrote them down
How Make It Even helps
Percentage-based splits
If one partner earns significantly more, split expenses by percentage rather than 50/50 — set it once per expense and Make It Even does the rest.
Recurring bills, handled
Add your Netflix, electricity, and internet as recurring expenses and they'll reappear each cycle. Shared costs stay visible without anyone having to remember to log them.
Group monthly budgets
Agree on a monthly grocery budget or an eating-out limit, then both of you can see spending against it in real time — no end-of-month surprises.
Clean settle-up via PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App
When it's time to square up, Make It Even shows one net figure and links directly to your payment app of choice — no mental arithmetic required.
Comments on each expense
Leave a note explaining what that $78 charge was for, so nothing needs to be reconstructed from memory three weeks later.
Get going in three steps
- 1
Create a shared group
Start a group for your household, add your partner, and decide how you want to split: equally, by percentage, or by exact amount.
- 2
Log expenses as they happen
Add dinner, groceries, or a shared bill in seconds. Recurring expenses fill in automatically each cycle.
- 3
Check in and settle up monthly
See the current balance at any time. When you want to even things out, Make It Even generates a single payment link so the transfer is done in a tap.
Questions
- Can we split expenses by percentage instead of 50/50?
- Yes — percentage splitting is a built-in free feature, useful when partners have different incomes and a proportional contribution feels fairer.
- What's the best way for couples to track recurring shared bills?
- Mark each bill as recurring when you add it and set its frequency; Make It Even re-logs it automatically so you both see it without anyone having to remember.
- Does Make It Even work as a shared expense tracker without a joint bank account?
- That's exactly what it's designed for — each person pays from their own account, logs what they paid, and Make It Even keeps a running balance showing who owes who.
- Is there a limit on how many expenses we can log?
- No daily limits and no cap on expenses within a group. The free tier supports up to 3 groups, which is more than enough for most couples.
- Can we set a shared monthly budget for things like dining out?
- Yes — group monthly budgets let you set a cap for any spending category, and both of you can track spending against it throughout the month.
