Repeating expenses

Rent, the internet bill, a shared streaming subscription. Set them up once and Potluck adds a copy on the day each one is due.

Make an expense repeat

1. Add the expense as usual, with the first date it happened. See Adding an expense.
2. Near the bottom of the form, set Repeats to Every week, Every month or Every year.
3. Tap Save expense.

The first copy appears one period after the date you entered. Each copy has the same amount, payer, split and category, and shows a small repeat icon in the list.

See and manage repeating expenses

Everything that repeats in a group is listed under Repeating at the top of the Expenses tab, with how many are running and the next date for each.

• Pause stops new copies until you tap Resume.
• Stop repeating ends it for good. Expenses already added stay.

The person who set it up can pause or stop it, and so can the group’s owner and admins.

Good to know

• Monthly bills keep their day. Rent on the 31st lands on the last day of shorter months (Feb 28, Apr 30), then goes back to the 31st.
• You choose Repeats when you first add an expense. To change the amount or split of a repeating bill, stop it and set up a new one.
• If the payer or someone in the split leaves the group, or the group is archived, the repeating expense stops on its own.
• For a bill in another currency, each copy uses the exchange rate for its own date. See Currencies.
