# Split Transactions

> Divide a single bank transaction across multiple categories when one payment covers different expense types.

Sometimes one bank transaction covers multiple categories — like a \$500 office store charge that's partly supplies and partly team snacks. Splitting lets you assign different amounts to different categories.

## How to split

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the transaction">
    Go to **Banking** → **Transactions** and click on the transaction.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Split">
    Click the **three-dot** menu on the transaction row and select **Split Transaction**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Add split lines">
    For each portion, enter:

    * **Amount** - how much goes to this category
    * **Category** - which category to assign
    * **Description** - a note for your records
    * Click **+ Add Split** to add more split lines as needed.

    Example for a \$500 office store charge:

    | Amount | Category              | Description             |
    | ------ | --------------------- | ----------------------- |
    | \$300  | Office Supplies       | Printer paper and toner |
    | \$200  | Meals & Entertainment | Team lunch supplies     |
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify totals">
    Split amounts must exactly match the original transaction total. The modal shows a live counter - **Total Split**, **Original**, and **Remaining** - so you can track the balance as you add lines. The **Save** button stays disabled until the remaining balance is zero.

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save**. Each split line appears separately in your reports under its assigned category.
