Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Right now, when we enter a split transaction, we have to calculate manually the amounts to make sure every part of the transaction match the total, especially on mobile.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

When entering a split transaction, instead of typing an amount, we could add an option to type a percentage instead. The app would calculate the amount automatically based on the percentage entered.

Just FYI, you can do inline calculations on desktop. So you can type total * percentage to calculate the amounts. There's also the "Distribute" function, though it does not allow weighting at this time.

#2512 Is a similar request to get "Distribute" on mobile.
