SplitSheet™ Guide

Get up and running
in minutes.

Everything you need to track and settle group expenses in Google Sheets™ — on desktop or mobile.

Getting started
1

Install SplitSheet™

Open any Google Sheet, go to Extensions Add-ons Get add-ons, and search for SplitSheet™. Click Install and grant the permissions when prompted.

Tip: SplitSheet™ only needs access to the spreadsheet you're working in. It never stores your data.
2

Open SplitSheet™ from the Extensions menu

In Google Sheets™, click Extensions SplitSheet™ Open. The SplitSheet™ sidebar will appear on the right side of your screen.

After your first open, SplitSheet™ will appear automatically every time you return to the sheet.
3

Add your group members

In the sidebar, type a name into the Add person field and press Enter or click Add. Repeat for each person in your group — add as many people as you like. Free sheets cover up to 20 expense rows; upgrade anytime for unlimited.

Logging expenses
4

Fill in your expenses in the sheet

Each row in the spreadsheet is one expense. Fill in the Date, Expense name, Amount, and who Paid. Then check the boxes for each person who was part of that expense — unchecked people won't be included in the split.

Tip: You don't have to split every expense equally. Only check the people who were actually involved.
5

Add a category (optional)

Use the Category dropdown on each row to tag expenses as Food, Transport, Hotel, and more. This helps you see a breakdown of spending by type after syncing.

6

Add notes (optional)

The Notes column lets you add any extra context to an expense — a restaurant name, a reference, or a reminder. It doesn't affect calculations.

Syncing and settling
7

Click Sync & Recalculate

Once you've entered your expenses, click the Sync & Recalculate button in the sidebar. SplitSheet™ will calculate everyone's share and generate a settlement summary showing exactly who owes who and how much.

8

Mark payments as settled

In the settlement summary, there's a Settled? column with checkboxes. Check the box when someone has paid — the row crosses out, and the Paid On date is stamped automatically on your next Sync (or type your own date). Tip: each expense row also has a Reimbursed checkbox — tick it if an expense was already paid back directly, and it'll be excluded from the math entirely.

Tip: You can re-sync at any time to update the calculations after adding more expenses.
Upgrading to Pro
9

Need more than 20 rows? Upgrade from within SplitSheet™

Free covers up to 20 expense rows per sheet — every feature, unlimited sheets and people. When a sheet passes 20 rows, SplitSheet™ shows an upgrade prompt in the sidebar. Click Upgrade to Pro ($9.99/year — unlimited rows across all your sheets) to open the secure checkout.

10

Complete checkout with Stripe

You'll be taken to our secure Stripe checkout, already filled in with your Google account email. Keep that email as-is — it's how SplitSheet™ recognizes your upgrade (watch out for Apple Pay or Link autofilling a different address). Enter your payment details and confirm — your local currency may be shown automatically.

Stripe is our payment processor. Your card details are never seen or stored by le6labs LLC.
11

You're unlimited — instantly

Nothing to enter, nothing to activate — Pro is linked to your Google account and switches on across all your sheets by itself. If you don't see it right away, reopen SplitSheet™ from the sidebar and tap Refresh The Sheet.

Tip: Pro renews once a year and you can cancel anytime — no lock-in.
Getting started on mobile
1

Install SplitSheet™ on desktop first

Add-ons must be installed from a desktop browser. On your computer, open any Google Sheet, go to Extensions Add-ons Get add-ons, and search for SplitSheet™. Click Install and grant the permissions when prompted. Once installed, it'll be available on mobile too.

If you've already installed SplitSheet™ on desktop, skip to step 2.
2

Open your SplitSheet™ spreadsheet on mobile

Open the Google Sheets™ app on your phone (iOS or Android) and navigate to the spreadsheet you've been using with SplitSheet™. Make sure you're signed in to the same Google account.

3

Open SplitSheet™ from the menu

Tap the three dots (⋯) in the top right corner of the screen, then tap Extensions, then tap SplitSheet™. The SplitSheet™ panel will slide up from the bottom of your screen.

Unlike desktop, the add-on doesn't open automatically on mobile — you'll need to tap through this menu each session.
What works well on mobile
4

Sync and check balances on the go

The Sync & Recalculate button works great on mobile. Tap it to refresh the settlement summary and see who owes who — useful when you're out and someone asks "wait, how much do I owe?"

5

Mark payments as settled

You can check off the Settled? checkboxes in the sheet on mobile — just scroll to the settlement summary area. The Paid On date records automatically on the next Sync.

Tips for mobile
💡

Enter expenses on desktop when possible

The spreadsheet columns are narrow on a phone screen. Adding expenses — filling in dates, amounts, dropdowns, and checkboxes — is much easier on a desktop or laptop. Use mobile mainly for syncing and checking balances.

💡

Pin the spreadsheet for quick access

In Google Sheets™ on mobile, tap the star icon next to your SplitSheet™ file to pin it to your Starred section. That way you can get to it in one tap instead of searching every time.

Upgrading to Pro on mobile
6

Need more room? Upgrade from within SplitSheet™

Complete checkout with Stripe

Confirm your payment on the secure Stripe checkout — it's already filled in with your Google account email. Your local currency may be shown automatically.

Stripe is our payment processor. Your card details are never seen or stored by le6labs LLC.

You're unlimited — instantly

Nothing to enter, nothing to activate — Pro is linked to your Google account and switches on by itself. Reopen the panel via the three dots (⋯)ExtensionsSplitSheet™ if you need to refresh.

Common questions
What happens to my data if I uninstall SplitSheet™?
Nothing — your spreadsheet data stays exactly where it is in Google Sheets™. SplitSheet™ never stores your data externally. Uninstalling just removes the add-on sidebar.
Can I use SplitSheet™ with multiple trips or groups?
Yes — each Google Sheet is its own independent SplitSheet™. Create a new sheet for each trip or group; free covers up to 20 expense rows per sheet. Pro lifts the row limit everywhere, so long trips and ongoing groups keep their whole history in one sheet.
How many rows does Free include?
Free covers up to 20 expense rows per sheet, with unlimited sheets, unlimited people, and every feature. To go beyond 20 rows in a sheet, upgrade to Pro ($9.99/year — under a dollar a month) for unlimited rows across all your sheets — right inside the SplitSheet™ sidebar. Always check out with your Google account email — that's how SplitSheet™ recognizes your purchase. Paid but still showing Free? You probably checked out with a different email — contact us at le6labs@gmail.com and we'll fix it in minutes.
Can multiple people edit the sheet at the same time?
Yes — Google Sheets™ supports real-time collaboration. Anyone you share the sheet with can add expenses. Just make sure only one person syncs at a time to avoid conflicts.
Do my friends need to install SplitSheet™ too?
No. Only the person who runs Sync needs the add-on. The settlement summary, charts, and who-owes-who are written into the spreadsheet itself, so everyone you share the sheet with sees everything — no installs, no accounts. Friends can even add expenses and tick checkboxes; the math refreshes the next time the organizer syncs.
How do I manage or cancel my subscription?
Your Pro plan is tied to your Google account — there's no key to manage. To cancel or update billing, email us at le6labs@gmail.com and we'll take care of it. You'll keep Pro through the end of your paid year, with no further charges.
Something's not working — how do I get help?
Email us at le6labs@gmail.com and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
