Housemates or couples splitting bills — usually looking for this when working out who owes what causes an argument every month.
Need more than one? All 9 Personal templates for $39 — $83 bought separately. All 66 for $99.
Works in Excel 2013 and later, Microsoft 365, Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc. Set up to print landscape on one page wide. Version 1, updated 25 September 2026.
There are free templates. Why this one?
There are, and some are fine. The difference is what has been checked. This file was built from scratch, then every formula in it was recalculated by a separate checker that compares each result against an independently worked-out answer — 65 of them here. A template that looks right and totals wrong is worse than no template at all, and that is the usual failing of one downloaded from a search result.
It also opens with sample rows already filled in, so you can see every formula working before you touch it, and it is set up to print without fighting the page setup. No email wall, no signup, no watermark, and you can use it commercially.
About this Household Bills Splitter template
Shared houses fall out over money when nobody is sure who owes what. This Excel household bills splitter records each bill, who paid it and how it is split — equally, between two people or to one person — and works out each person's share.
The settling-up summary shows what each person paid, what they owe in total and whether they are owed money or owe it, with a check that every bill's split adds up.

How to use the Household Bills Splitter in Excel
Record who paid and how the bill splits. The Check column must read zero on every row — if it does not, the split does not add up to the bill.
The file opens with sample rows so you can see every formula working before you change anything. Type your own figures over them. When you need more rows, insert them inside the existing block rather than underneath it, so the totals keep covering every row.
Functions and formulas it uses
Every one of these exists in Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice, so the file behaves the same wherever you open it.
COUNTIFIFROUNDSUMSUMIFQuestions about the Household Bills Splitter
How does settling up work?
For each person, what they paid minus the total of their shares. A positive figure means they are owed money; a negative figure means they owe it.
What does the Check column do?
It shows the difference between the bill and the shares. It should be zero on every row; anything else means the split does not add up.
Can I use our own names?
Yes. The names are used in the column headers, the dropdowns and the formulas, so replace them with Find and Replace across the whole sheet.
