Smart Settlement
Calculate the minimum transfers to clear all debts — one tap
Overview
At the end of a game night with 8 players, the web of who-owes-whom can be impossibly complex. Player A owes Player B $50, Player B owes Player C $30, Player C owes Player A $20... Smart Settlement untangles this mess with a debt simplification algorithm that reduces complex cross-debts to the absolute minimum number of transfers. What would normally take 30 minutes of confused math and a dozen small payments becomes 3-4 simple transfers shown clearly on everyone's screen.
How It Works
Game Ends
When the host ends the session, PartyPot has a complete record of every transaction and every player's final balance.
Algorithm Runs
Smart Settlement calculates net positions (who's up, who's down) and finds the optimal set of transfers to balance everyone.
Results Displayed
Each player sees exactly who they owe or are owed, and the exact amount. No ambiguity.
Transfer & Confirm
Players settle up using their preferred payment method (cash, bank transfer, e-wallet). Mark each transfer as complete in the app.
Why It Matters
Minimum Transfers
8 players might have 28 possible debts — Smart Settlement reduces this to 4-5 transfers.
Zero Mental Math
No more "wait, but you owe me from last week too" — the algorithm handles all offsets.
Complete Transparency
The calculation is based on the full transaction history — visible to all players.
IOU Integration
Outstanding IOUs from previous sessions can be factored into the current settlement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does it calculate minimum transfers?
It nets all debts into positive (creditors) and negative (debtors), then matches them to minimize total transfers using a debt simplification algorithm.
What if some players have IOUs?
IOUs are factored into the settlement calculation. Outstanding debts from previous sessions are included.
Can I customize the settlement?
The algorithm provides the optimal solution, but players can choose to settle manually if they prefer a different arrangement.
