What does これでチャラにしとくよ means?


I'am currently reading a manga, there is this sentence "これでチャラにしとくよ". I don't
really get it. Please translate, thank you




It means something like "I'll let you off the hook (with this)".

Either the speaker (let's call him A) had previously done some favor for the
other person (B) and B had just returned the favor, or alternatively, B had
previously done something to anger A, and in this case, A had just "paid it
back" by punishing B. Either way, what A is saying is either "now, neither of
us owes the other one anything" or "no more grudges".

This relates to the second definitions on
[デジタル大辞泉](https://kotobank.jp/word/%E3%81%A1%E3%82%83%E3%82%89-566977) and
