How the split works

Each share is the total divided by the number of people. When it doesn't divide evenly to the cent, everyone else rounds up and the person who paid covers the rest, so the money always adds up exactly. For example, $100.00 split three ways is $33.34 for each friend and $33.32 for the payer.

Leaving someone out of the drinks

Of a $100.00 bill, $30.00 was drinks and one of four people didn't drink. Enter the drinks as a separate item and untick that person: the shared $70.00 is split four ways and the drinks three ways.

Drank (3)$17.50$10.00$27.50
Didn't drink (1)$17.50–$17.50

Different shares

Turn on Different shares to set 1.5× for a big eater or 0× for the birthday friend. For $70.00 with shares 1, 1.5, 0 and 1, the shares add up to 3.5, so 1× is $20.00: $20.00 / $30.00 / $0.00 / $20.00.

Rounding to whole amounts

$123.00 split four ways is $30.75 each. Rounding up to $1.00:

  • Payer pays less: friends send $31.00 and the payer covers $30.00.
  • Everyone rounds up: everyone pays $31.00 and $1.00 is left over for the kitty or the next round.

Tax and tip

Enter the final amount with tax and tip included. If you still need to work out the tip, use the tip calculator first, then split the total here.

This tool doesn't send payments. Names you type stay on this page, and the share button shares only the page address.

Frequently asked questions

How do I split a bill evenly?

Divide the total by the number of people. $120.00 split four ways is $30.00 each.

What if the bill doesn't divide evenly?

Everyone else rounds up and the payer covers the rest. $100.00 split three ways is $33.34 for each friend and $33.32 for the payer.

Should I split before or after the tip?

Add tax and tip first, then split the final total so everyone shares the tip too. The tip calculator works out the tip for you.

Can I round to whole dollars?

Yes. Choose Round shares up to $1.00: $123.00 split four ways becomes $31.00 for each friend and $30.00 for the payer.
