Personal Karma
Personal Karma
Personal Karma lets you automatically donate a small percentage of your monthly added expenses to Expensify.org.
For every $500 in expenses you add, $1 is donated to a related Expensify.org fund. Donations are calculated monthly and charged to the billing card on file. You’ll receive a donation receipt by email after each charge.
How to enable Personal Karma
- In the navigation tabs (on the left on web, at the bottom on mobile), choose Account.
- Select Save the World.
- Toggle Enable Personal Karma on.
If you don’t have a payment card on file, you’ll be prompted to add one before Personal Karma can be enabled. If you dismiss the payment card prompt without adding a card, the toggle will revert to disabled.
Once enabled, your billing card details are displayed below the toggle.
How to disable Personal Karma
- In the navigation tabs (on the left on web, at the bottom on mobile), choose Account.

How Personal Karma calculates your donation amount
Your donation is based on the total amount of expenses added during the month.
This includes:
- Reported expenses
- Unreported expenses
- Invoice expenses
For every $500 in total expenses, $1 is donated. For example:
- $500 in expenses = $1 donation
- $2,500 in expenses = $5 donation
The total donation amount is calculated at the end of each month.
