How to use

  1. Choose how to split: “Evenly” takes the bill amount and number of people; “By shares” gives each person a number of shares (e.g. 2 for a couple); “By items” lets you enter each item and tick who shares it.
  2. Enter the service charge (10% by default), tax or tip as percentages, or leave them blank.
  3. Choose the unit to round to and how to handle leftovers. The result lists what each person pays and who covers the leftover.
  4. Click “Copy summary” to paste the result into a group chat.

FAQ

How are service charge, tax and tip calculated?

Each is a percentage of the bill amount (the food subtotal); they do not compound. A 2,680 bill with a 10% service charge adds 268, for a total of 2,948. The total is rounded half up only once, to whole units or to cents.

Who pays the leftover when the total does not divide evenly?

By default each share is rounded down, and the units left over go one each to the people with the largest dropped fractions; on a tie, whoever is listed first pays. Splitting 1,100 three ways gives 367, 367 and 366, so the amounts always add up to the bill and the same input always gives the same answer.

Can everyone pay the same round amount?

Yes. Set “Leftover from rounding” to “Everyone rounds up”. With an even split everyone pays the same, the total collected is slightly more than the bill, and the tool shows the difference so you can leave it as a tip.

How are charges shared when splitting by items?

Each item is split equally among the people ticked for it, and the service charge, tax and tip are shared in proportion to what each person ordered. If your items are half of the bill, you also pay half of the charges.

What if the bill already includes a service charge?

Enter the bill total as the amount and set the service charge to 0 or leave it blank.
