Group Trip Planner

Agree on the rule as a group before anyone books — equal split, pay-your-own-way, or opt-in for activities only some people join — and have someone reconcile the actual payments afterward. The planner gives you a shared per-traveler estimate to plan against: flights are costed per traveler by origin, and the rest of the budget is averaged across the group.

Enter each traveler's flight cost by origin so the planner reflects who is flying from where, and use the budget ceiling to keep the total in check. The headline figure is a per-traveler average, so a shared upgrade or splurge still raises everyone's number — flag those as individual costs and settle them directly between the people involved.

Set how many travelers each activity is for, so its cost reflects the smaller group rather than the whole party. The planner still shows one shared per-traveler average, so for an activity only a few join, settle that amount directly with the people taking part — the headline keeps everyone's estimate honest, it does not bill each person individually.

Collect deposits before nonrefundable bookings, keep a running note of who paid for what during the trip, and settle the final balance soon after. The planner sizes the shared budget up front; reconciling the actual payments is something the group tracks on its own, and the longer shared expenses sit, the harder they are to reconstruct.

For large or nonrefundable costs, yes. Collect deposits before booking flights, lodging, or tours, and make the refund rule clear in the group chat. It protects the person fronting the card and keeps the budget honest.
