Split a family vacation fairly, kids and all
When two families share a beach house, dividing every cost equally per adult never feels right. DivvyUp uses share weights so a family of four carries its fair portion — kids counted the way you decide.
Multi-family trips are the trickiest to split: households are different sizes, kids eat and sleep for less than adults, and one family usually books the big stuff up front. DivvyUp's weighted shares and member grouping let each family carry a fair slice of shared costs, while AI receipt scanning keeps the logging effortless between naps and beach runs.
Weighted shares for kids
Give each person a share weight — a young child at 0.5, say — so shared costs divide by real household size instead of a flat per-adult split.
Group each family together
Link parents into one household with "group with" so each family shows a single combined balance, not a tangle of individual sub-tabs.
Log receipts one-handed
Snap the grocery haul or the theme-park tickets and GPT-4o reads merchant, total, and currency. Ideal when you have a toddler on your hip.
Currencies auto-converted
Travelling abroad? Every expense converts to your pool's base currency automatically, so both families see the total in the same money.
A dashboard the grown-ups share
Send "balance" for a live link showing totals, categories, and settlements — so every parent can see where things stand at a glance.
One clean settle-up
At the end, DivvyUp tallies each household and shows exactly which family pays which, in the fewest payments possible.
Common questions
How do share weights work for children?＋
Each member has a share weight that scales their portion of shared costs. Set a child to something like 0.5 so they count as half an adult, or whatever your families agree is fair.
Can two families each settle as a household?＋
Yes. Group the parents in each family together, and DivvyUp combines their expenses into one balance per household so you settle family-to-family.
Who can log expenses?＋
Any adult in the pool can log from their own WhatsApp — whoever paid for the groceries or the tickets simply sends the receipt or a quick text.
Does it handle the big up-front bookings?＋
Yes. Log the house deposit or car rental like any other expense; DivvyUp credits the family that paid and factors it into the final settle-up.
