FAQ

How does the calculator handle partial journeys? ▼

For each journey, you select the specific travelers who participated. The total cost for that journey is then divided equally among only those selected travelers.

Can I account for different types of passes (e.g., JR Pass)? ▼

Currently, the calculator focuses on splitting direct costs. If a traveler uses a pass, you would simply not include their portion of that journey's fare in the "Cost" input, or only include the portion that wasn't covered by their pass.

What if some travelers paid for certain legs? ▼

The tool calculates each traveler's *share* of the total costs. To settle up, you'd compare these shares with what each person actually paid. Future versions might include input for who paid what to calculate direct reimbursements.
