Biweekly recurring expenses now available

The gap between weekly and monthly

Have you ever found yourself in that awkward spot where weekly recurring expenses feel too frequent, but monthly recurring expenses don't quite match your actual billing cycle? You're not alone! Many users have reached out asking for a solution to split bills that occur every two weeks.

Whether it's your biweekly rent payment, gym membership that charges every 14 days, or utility bills that arrive twice a month, we heard you loud and clear. That's why we're excited to announce that biweekly recurring expenses are now available on SplitMyExpenses!

What are biweekly recurring expenses?

Biweekly recurring expenses allow you to automatically create expenses that repeat every 14 days (every two weeks). This fills the perfect gap between weekly (every 7 days) and monthly (every ~30 days) intervals, giving you precise control over your recurring bill schedule.

Just like our other recurring expense options, biweekly expenses work with all three end conditions:

• Never: Continues indefinitely until you stop it
• On date: Ends on a specific date you choose
• After: Ends after a specific number of occurrences

Perfect for these common scenarios:

• Biweekly rent payments split with roommates
• Gym memberships that charge every two weeks
• Subscription services with 14-day billing cycles
• Utility bills that arrive twice per month
• Cleaning services that visit every other week
• Grocery delivery subscriptions with biweekly schedules

How to create a biweekly recurring expense

Creating a biweekly recurring expense is just as simple as setting up any other recurring expense on SplitMyExpenses:

1. Create a new expense in your group or with friends
2. Set the recurrence by selecting "Biweekly" from the interval dropdown
3. Choose your end condition: Never, On date, or After a specific number of occurrences
4. Preview your schedule: See exactly when your next 3 expenses will be created
5. Save and you're done! Your expense will automatically repeat every 14 days

The live preview feature shows you exactly when your biweekly expenses will be created, so you can double-check that the timing works perfectly for your needs.

Smart scheduling that just works

Our biweekly recurring expenses use the same robust scheduling system as our other intervals. Here's what makes them special:

Consistent 14-day intervals

Every biweekly expense is created exactly 14 days after the previous one, regardless of month length or calendar quirks. If you start on a Monday, every occurrence will be on a Monday.

Flexible end conditions

• Never ending: Perfect for ongoing bills like rent or gym memberships
• End on specific date: Great when you know exactly when a service will end
• End after X occurrences: Ideal for limited-time subscriptions or trial periods

Automatic processing

Just like all our recurring expenses, biweekly expenses are automatically created when they're due. You don't need to remember to add them manually—we handle everything in the background.

Managing your biweekly expenses

All your biweekly recurring expenses appear in the Recurring Expenses section of your account, right alongside your weekly, monthly, and yearly expenses. You can:

• View upcoming occurrences to see exactly when expenses will be created
• Edit or update recurring expenses if your billing changes
• Pause or delete recurring expenses when you no longer need them
• Track the status of each recurring expense (Active, Expired, or Disabled)

The unified recurring expenses dashboard makes it easy to manage all your automated bills in one place, regardless of their interval.

Real-world example: Splitting biweekly rent

Let's say you and your roommates pay $2,400 rent every two weeks and want to split it three ways. Here's how biweekly recurring expenses make this effortless:

1. Create the recurring expense: $2,400 rent, split equally among 3 people ($800 each)
2. Set it to biweekly: Choose "Biweekly" and "Never" (since rent is ongoing)
3. Let it run automatically: Every 14 days, a new $2,400 rent expense is created and split
4. Track balances easily: See who owes what and settle up using integrated payment apps

No more manual expense entry every two weeks. No more forgetting to add the rent. No more miscalculating dates. It just works!

Comprehensive testing and reliability

Before launching biweekly recurring expenses, we put them through comprehensive testing to ensure they work flawlessly:

• ✅ 14-day interval accuracy across different start days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday)
• ✅ End date boundary handling to ensure expenses stop exactly when they should
• ✅ Occurrence limit enforcement for precise control over expense counts
• ✅ Past event completion tracking for accurate expense history
• ✅ Future event generation for reliable upcoming expense scheduling
• ✅ Integration testing with existing weekly, monthly, and yearly intervals

This means you can trust that your biweekly expenses will be created exactly when expected, every time.
