What is Gastos Compartidos?

A platform for recording shared expenses, calculating balances automatically, and settling debts fairly — wherever multiple people share costs.

Quick answer

Gastos Compartidos is a platform to record shared expenses and automatically calculate who owes whom. Designed for families in shared parenting, households, and groups in Spain, Latin America, and any Spanish-speaking country. No commissions, no hidden costs, and completely transparent recording.

The problem it solves

When multiple people share expenses (rent, utilities, education, trips), manual records create confusion, forgotten items, and unnecessary back-and-forth. Excel is fragile. WhatsApp is chaotic. You need something neutral, verifiable, and automatic.

Gastos Compartidos eliminates ambiguity. Every expense is recorded with date, amount, category, and who paid. The system automatically calculates balances. Everyone sees the same thing. No surprises.

Key features

How it works (summary)

The flow is simple:

1. You create a sheet — give it a name (e.g., "Lucy's Expenses 2026") and a description.

2. Invite others — generate an invitation code or shareable link. Share it. They join with any email.

3. Record expenses — each member records expenses they paid (school, utilities, trips, etc.).

4. System calculates — automatically determines who owes whom and how much.

5. Settle — transfer money to close balances. Or export a verifiable report.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if there's an observation about an expense?
If a member disagrees with an expense, they can flag an observation. The expense is flagged. The system continues calculating balances, but everyone sees there is an observation. This prevents surprises later.
Who can access the information?
Only members invited to the expense sheet can see all details. If you decide to share the sheet with a mediator, lawyer, or professional, you can give them read-only access. You control who sees what.
Can I have multiple sheets?
Yes. You can create one sheet for each context: one for child expenses, another for family trips, another for apartment expenses, etc. Each sheet is independent.
What currencies does it accept?
All of them. You can record expenses in Argentine pesos, euros, dollars, Mexican pesos, Brazilian reals, etc. The system automatically converts using current exchange rates if needed.
Are there hidden costs?
No. Gastos Compartidos is completely transparent. No commissions, no transaction fees, no hidden charges. What you see is what you pay.
Does it work in my country?
Gastos Compartidos works in Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Argentina, and any Spanish-speaking country. It's jurisdiction-agnostic.
Can I export a report?
