Who pays for what: the breakdown by payers
Note who makes each payment and see how much each person has paid.
When parents or relatives chip in, write down who makes each payment. The budget then adds up how much each person has paid.
Step by step
Step 1Turn on payment tracking
In the budget’s Settings → Show advanced options, switch on Amound Paid / Due — see Track payments and deposits.
Step 2Write who pays
Open an item’s Track Payments (click its amount paid) and, in each payment, type the initials in Initials of Payer — for example “AB” for the bride’s parents. Use the same initials every time for the same person.
Step 3Open the breakdown
Under the budget, click Breakdown by payers. The button appears once a payment has an amount.
What the breakdown shows
- Total paid — everything already paid, by everyone.
- One card per payer with the sum they have paid, then each of their payments: the item, its category, what it is for, the pay date, the type and the amount.
- Payments still to make are listed with a “not paid” tag and don’t count in the sums.
- Payments without initials are gathered under Not specified.
Tips and important notes
- The person who has paid the most is listed first.
- “AB” and “A.B.” count as two different payers — keep the initials the same.
