Expenses & settlement

A trip's Finances show what the trip costs and who still owes whom.

Recording an expense

There are several ways:

In the expense sheet you enter:

Field	Explanation
Amount and currency	any of 150+ currencies; your destinations' currencies are listed first. The app remembers your last choice.
Title (optional)	e.g. “Dinner in Alfama”
Category	accommodation, transport, food, activities, other …
Date and activity	when and what for
Who paid?	the person who paid in advance
Split	equally among selected people, custom (amounts per person, with chart and buttons “split equally” / “fill remainder”) or info only (no shares)
Paid status	per person, whether their share has been settled

Foreign currencies are converted at the rate on the day you record them, and that rate is frozen – later exchange rate changes don't alter old expenses.
The display currency follows your device and can be changed in Settings.
A simple currency converter and a tip calculator are available under Tools.

Trip / role	What you see
Private trip	tabs Costs (all expenses, totals, categories) and Settlement
Group trip – leaders	Group costs and Settlement; individual items can be hidden from participants
Group trip – participant	My shares: only your share of the group costs and your own expenses
Group trip – passive (parents)	no access to finances

Settlement calculates who pays whom how much – with as few transfers as possible. Mark completed payments as paid.

Good to know for group trips: participants only record their own expenses; these stay on their device and are not visible to the leaders.

Set a budget per trip (when creating it or in Finances). The totals card shows how much has been used.
Once you've completed trips, Explority compares your planned daily costs with previous trips – preferably in the same country (“⌀ €68 per day in Spain”).
The Budget planner under Tools shows all trips with their totals at a glance.
