For Roommates

Your shared home, fairly divided

Rent, electricity, groceries, that one giant Costco run — log it once and Make It Even figures out who owes what, down to the last cent.

The usual headaches

  • Someone always forgets to pay their share of the internet bill
  • Keeping a group chat ledger of who owes who is a disaster after month two
  • Figuring out how the electric bill should split when your roommate works from home all day
  • Month-end reckonings turn into uncomfortable conversations nobody wants to have

How Make It Even helps

Recurring expenses on autopilot

Set rent and utilities as recurring expenses and they'll reappear each cycle automatically. No more texting 'hey, it's the 1st again.'

Group monthly budgets

Set a shared budget for groceries, household supplies, or any category and watch spending in real time — helpful when you're splitting costs but have different ideas about what's reasonable.

Split by any method

Equal split works for most bills, but exact amounts handle the case where one roommate uses the parking spot and the other doesn't. Both are free, always.

Debt simplification

In a four-person house with a tangled web of IOUs, Make It Even collapses it into the fewest possible payments — so you're not all Venmo-ing each other in circles.

Payment reminders

Send a polite nudge with one tap instead of crafting a passive-aggressive text yourself. The reminder goes out; you stay diplomatic.

Activity feed and comments

Every expense logs who added it and when, so there's always a paper trail if a roommate wants to know why the gas bill was $140 last month.

Questions

Can I use Make It Even to split rent unequally between roommates?
Yes — use the exact-amount or percentage split to handle situations where rooms are different sizes or one person has sole use of a parking spot or storage unit.
Does Make It Even handle recurring monthly bills like rent and utilities?
It does. Mark any expense as recurring and choose how often it repeats; the expense re-appears automatically so you never have to re-enter it.
Is Make It Even free for roommates?
The free tier covers up to 3 active groups with unlimited expenses, all split types, recurring expenses, debt simplification, and payment reminders — everything a typical household needs.
How does debt simplification work with multiple roommates?
Instead of six people each paying three other people, Make It Even finds the minimum number of transactions that zeros everyone's balance — fewer payments, less confusion.
Can my roommates see the full expense history?
Yes. Every group member can see every expense, who paid, and the activity feed, so there's full transparency and no one has to take anyone's word for it.
