Currency Conversion

Currency Conversion

Log expenses in whatever currency you actually paid in — the app converts to the trip's base currency for totals, splits, and settling up.

Setting the base currency

Open the trip idea → Edit details → Currency. This is the currency all summaries, balances and the trip report are shown in.

How conversion works

• FX rates come from a live daily feed (Frankfurter / ECB reference rates).
• Rates are cached per day, so re-opening the trip doesn't hit the network for every expense.
• Each expense stores both the original amount + currency AND the converted amount. Editing an expense re-converts.

Tips

• If a rate looks off, check the expense date — the rate used is the day the expense was logged.
• Cash and card transactions from the same day use the same reference rate; your bank's actual rate may differ by a small margin.
