    Use Case: Family Budgeting & Bill Splits

    Household money, set up for the way you share it

    LoopUsIn supports three ways to manage money: one shared household account, a shared Family budget with private Personal ledgers, or a shared-expenses group. Plan expected income and bills, record actuals as they happen, and settle shared purchases without moving money in-app.

    Safe example

    One category total, with two sources

    Your Personal Groceries row combines your Family share and your direct Personal purchase; it does not create duplicate categories.

    Family Joint

    Groceries planned

    €0.00

    Your agreed share is €0.00.

    My Personal · Groceries

    Family commitment€0.00
    My direct cost€0.00
    Unified actual€0.00
    Bill Splits stay separate: an out-of-pocket shared purchase is first shown at the payer's full amount, then adjusted to their agreed share after settlement. LoopUsIn records the agreed settlement; it never moves money.
    Three operating models

    Pick the setup that fits your group

    The model determines which ledgers and workflows your group uses. A later change applies from a future month, so prepared history stays intact.

    One household account

    One shared income ledger and one household budget for bills, subscriptions, and everyday categories. Best when the group manages money as one account.

    • Plan expected income, bills, and category budgets
    • Confirm income and log actual shared spending

    Family & personal accounts

    A shared Family plan plus private Personal ledgers. It works well for couples or co-parents who coordinate household costs while keeping direct personal transactions private.

    • Personal views include relevant Family commitments
    • Bill Splits track out-of-pocket shared purchases

    Shared-expenses group

    For co-housing, friends, or any group that shares purchases but not a pooled income plan. Participants record what they paid and settle the resulting balance.

    • No shared income ledger or Personal budget view
    • Settlement is recorded; money moves outside LoopUsIn
