No More Venmo Chaos: The DadZilluh Group Trip Expense Splitter
You planned the trip. You packed the snacks. You drove 8 hours with a trunk full of wet wipes and regret.
But now it’s time for the real challenge: figuring out who owes who for all that gas, food, and foam from Home Depot.
This isn’t just about money. It’s about not resenting your friends and not doing math at midnight.
That’s why I built the DadZilluh Group Trip Expense Splitter—a dead-simple tool that keeps things fair, fast, and fuss-free.
🧠 Why Use This Instead of a Group Chat Fight
With this calculator:
Each person can see exactly what they paid
You track who participated in what
It auto-calculates what each person owes
It gives you a clean list of who pays who—no guesswork
🛠️ How It Works
Type in everyone’s name across the top
Add each expense line—amount, who paid, description
Use an “x” to tag who participated in that cost
Scroll down for the totals + automatic settlement instructions
Everyone pays, nobody overpays, and your group chat stays civil
🔁 Use the Tool
👉 Try the tool live below or download the spreadsheet version here.
Instructions
- Type in names along the top to add participants in the expense sharing.- Type descriptions in the yellow boxes to add new lines.
- Mark each participant in the expense item with an "x" to include them in the split.
🎁 Bonus Tip
Want to make sure you don’t get stuck fronting everything?
Before the trip starts, say:
“I’ll track everything and split it up after—just tag me when you spend.”
Then drop this tool at the end. Done and dusted.
