Household Expenses — Redesigned Component

Overview:
The household expenses section has been redesigned to improve how shared expenses are captured and displayed. Applicants who share expenses are now grouped visually, making it easier to manage household-level costs.

Key Benefits:

• Applicants sharing expenses are automatically grouped into a single household
• Expenses displayed in a table view by category
• Relationship types (e.g. married, de facto) determine grouping automatically
• Available in both the broker portal and consumer portal
• Frequency can be selected per expense (weekly, monthly, annually)

How It Works:

1. Add a new applicant and select their relationship to existing applicants
2. If the relationship is “married” or “de facto,” they are automatically grouped into the same household
3. Household expenses are displayed together in a categorised table with totals
4. Each expense row allows you to select frequency from a dropdown
5. To update the household grouping, remove or re-add applicants as needed

Notes:

• The frequency selector is being updated from abbreviations (W/M/Y) to a dropdown
• If W/M/Y is still visible, the update may not yet be live in your environment
