How Our Splitter Works
Our calculator is based on 2 methods: Even Bill Split & Fair Bill Split.
Even Bill Split
This is good for: Restaurant Bills, Single Receipts, One-Time Payments, and anything else with a single total to be divided equally amongst all members of the group.
Fair Bill Split
This is good for more complex group expenses, like: Camping Trips, Group Vacations, Dinner Partys, Roadtrips, etc - anytime there's more than one expense, people have paid for different things, or the split is not evenly divided amongst the group.
Perfect for All Kinds of Shared Expenses
Use our calculator for many different kinds of group spend. Need to figure out how to split a dinner check? Perfect. Need to know how much each friend owes you for that trip? We got you. See more examples below:

Events & Partys

FAQ
How do you split a bill evenly?
To split a bill evenly, add up the total bill amount and divide it by the number of people sharing it. Each person pays the same amount, regardless of what they ordered or spent.
This method works best when everyone agrees to share the cost equally, such as group meals, shared rides, or household expenses. We call this the Even Bill Split method.
How do you split a bill when everyone owes a different amount?
When everyone owes a different amount, each person's share is calculated based on what they individually ordered or spent.
You enter each person's amount, then add tax and tip if needed. The total is split proportionally so everyone pays their fair share instead of an equal split. We call this the Fair Bill Split method.
Can I split a bill with tax and tip included?
Yes. You can split a bill with tax and tip included by adding them to the total before dividing the amount.
Most bill splitters allow you to include tax and tip so the final amounts reflect what each person actually owes, rather than splitting only the pre-tax total.
How do you split a bill with a tip?
To split a bill with a tip, calculate the tip amount first (either as a percentage or fixed amount), add it to the bill, and then split the total.
For uneven splits, the tip is typically divided proportionally based on each person's share of the bill or spend.
What's the easiest way to split a bill for a group?
To split a bill with a tip, calculate the tip amount first (either as a percentage or fixed amount), add it to the bill, and then split the total.
For uneven splits, the tip is typically divided proportionally based on each person's share of the bill.
Is a bill splitter accurate?
Yes, bill splitters are generally accurate for everyday use.
Accuracy depends on entering the correct amounts and choosing the right method (even split vs. individual totals). Minor differences can occur due to rounding, especially when splitting cents across many people.
Why do bill splits sometimes differ by a few cents?
Small differences happen because money is rounded to two decimal places. When totals are divided, the math doesn't always split perfectly into cents.
Some bill splitters round up or down slightly so the final amounts add up exactly to the original bill total.
What bill split apps are out there?
There are several bill splitting apps available, some popular options are: Splitwise, SettleUp, and Splittr.
This calculator doesn't require a separate app or account - it's designed for quick and easy splits when you need the math done fast.
