Shared expenses template
When a household or a group of friends shares costs, someone always asks who paid for the gas. This shared expenses template is a table with three columns, who, what and amount, and a total row that adds itself up. Put it in a shared notebook and everyone adds their own costs.

Questions
How does the total work?
The Amount column has a totals row set to sum, so the total updates as soon as anyone adds or changes a cost.
Can everyone add their own costs?
Yes. Share the folder as a notebook and each person adds rows from their own phone or computer. Shared notebooks are encrypted end to end, and sharing needs a free Memlow account with Google Drive backup on.
Does it work out who owes whom?
Not in the note: it lists costs and the total. The split bills sheet works out each person's fair share and balance.
