Living with roommates means rent, electricity, internet, the water bill and a dozen shared groceries all land at different times — and someone always has to be the person who chases everyone for money. Receipts get lost, IOUs get forgotten, and "I’ll pay you back next week" quietly becomes never. The result is the same in every flatshare: a fuzzy, resentful sense of who owes whom that nobody actually wants to track in a spreadsheet.
Why splitting flat costs gets messy
- No single source of truth — rent, bills and groceries live in different chats, apps and people’s heads.
- Awkward chasing — someone always ends up nagging flatmates for money they’re owed.
- Uneven splits — it’s never clear who already covered what, so balances drift out of sync.
- Mixed currencies — international flatmates and overseas bills make the maths even harder.
- No shared view — without one place everyone trusts, every "who owes what" turns into a debate.
How Yuki helps
- 1Create a Flatmates group and add everyone you live with.
- 2Add rent, utilities and shared costs as expenses — Yuki splits them equally by default (adjust any time) and keeps a running per-person balance.
- 3Everyone sees exactly what they’re owed or owe at a glance, like "You owe €187.50", in your own currency.
- 4When it’s time, tap Settle and Pay [name] to clear balances — no chasing, no spreadsheets.
Beyond the money. The same Flatmates group gives you a shared grocery list, a shared calendar and reminders, so the whole flat sees what’s owed, what’s needed and when — all in one place.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. Create a Flatmates group, add rent, utilities and shared costs as expenses, and Yuki splits them equally by default and tracks a running per-person balance for everyone — so the whole flat always knows who owes what without a spreadsheet.
Can we see who owes whom?
Yes. Every flatmate sees clear per-person balances like "You owe €187.50", so it is always obvious who is owed money and who needs to pay, across all your shared rent, bills and groceries.
