The group spreadsheet dies on day three.
The spreadsheet starts well, then someone forgets a line, an expense only concerns half the group, and the advances sit unpaid for weeks because nobody wants to chase.
Share group expenses and know who owes whom
As soon as several people front money for the same occasion, the maths turns tedious and the refunds drag on. Recording expenses as they happen removes the problem: the balance is always up to date.
Create my expense group- No app to install

Every expense counts, every balance is readable.
You note the amount, the person who paid and the people it concerns. Kankwa keeps the balances up to date and suggests the smallest number of transfers to square everything.
How it actually works.
- 01
Create the group
A name, the participants, the currency or unit in use. Shares can be equal or customised.
- 02
Add the expenses
Who paid, how much, and for whom. An expense can concern only part of the group.
- 03
Square up
The summary shows who owes how much to whom, keeping the number of transfers down.
The tools used on this page
Every tool works on its own or attached to the same shared link. You only turn on what you really need.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Kankwa take a commission?
- No. No payment goes through Kankwa: the tool works out the balances and you pay each other back directly. There are no pot fees and nothing is withheld from the amounts.
- Can we use another currency, or a custom unit?
- Yes. You choose a common currency or enter your own unit for the group. Amounts are displayed according to each person's local conventions.
- Does every expense concern everyone?
- No, and that is often the whole point: for each expense you say who it concerns. A dinner two participants did not attend is not charged to them.
- Do participants need an account?
- No. They view the group and its balance from the shared link, with no sign-up and no app. Only the person running the group needs an account.
Enjoy the moment. The accounts keep up.
