The shared household budget
Is this month covered?
Casapot plans your household’s fixed costs, splits them fairly by income and saves up for yearly bills in pots. Open it and you see right away whether everything is covered and what’s left for you to do.
Preview from the current prototype (German interface, sample figures).
Split household costs fairly, without the spreadsheet.
Rent, energy, insurance, subscriptions: in a shared household, lots of costs run through several accounts. Casapot keeps track, so you don’t have to do the math again every month.
Earn more, pay more. Or split it 50/50.
You decide how shared costs are divided. Casapot works out how much each person needs to transfer, to which account, and by when.
- Proportional to income, 50/50 or your own split
- Income changes take effect from a set date
- Prepare transfers with a QR code and tick them off
Yearly bills without the shock.
Energy, insurance, service charges: every month Casapot sets aside a small amount in virtual pots. When a bill is due, the money is already there.
- Several pots on one real savings account
- A warning when a pot won’t be full by its due date
- A concrete suggestion for closing the gap
Your task at a glance.
When you open the app, it answers one question: is it my turn? If so, you see the amount, account and deadline and can prepare the transfer right away.
- Status of every shared account
- A look ahead at the next four months
- A reminder before a payment is due

Frequently asked questions
What is Casapot?
Casapot is an app for shared household costs. It plans fixed costs like rent, energy and insurance, splits them fairly between the people in a household and saves up for yearly bills in monthly savings pots. That way you always know whether the month is covered and who still needs to transfer money.
How do you split household bills fairly by income?
Each person pays the share of the shared costs that matches their share of the household income. Example: if one person earns €3,000 and the other €2,000, the household income is €5,000. The first person covers 60%, the second 40%. With €2,340 of shared costs, that’s €1,404 and €936. Casapot calculates this automatically, even when someone’s income changes.
What are savings pots?
For bills that only come once a year, such as the annual energy bill, insurance or service charges, Casapot sets aside part of the amount every month. The pots are virtual and live together in one real savings account. When a bill is due, the money is already there. If a pot falls short, Casapot warns you in time.
Who is Casapot for?
For anyone who shares costs: couples with a joint account, flatshares and families. You can split by income, 50/50 or with your own shares.
Does Casapot make transfers?
No. Casapot plans and reminds you; you make the transfer in your own banking app, conveniently via QR code if you like. Then you tick the task off in Casapot.
When can I use Casapot?
Casapot is in development right now. A web app and a smartphone app are planned. Join the beta and I’ll invite you as soon as the first version is ready.
Try Casapot before everyone else.
I’m looking for households to try the first version and tell me honestly what’s missing. Sign up, and feel free to tell me which feature you’d like to see.
