How do you calculate a bill split?

Take the total, including tax and tip, and divide it by the number of people for an even split. For an itemized split, add each person's items, then add their share of tax and tip in proportion to their subtotal. CheckSplitting does this for you and guarantees the per-person amounts add up to the total exactly.

How do you split a bill 3 ways (or any number)?

Enter the total and set the number of people. CheckSplitting divides it evenly and distributes any leftover cents so the shares always sum to the exact total, with no missing or extra penny.

How do you add tip and tax to a split?

Choose a tip preset (18, 20, or 25%) or enter a custom amount, and add the tax. In an itemized split, both are prorated across people by their share of the subtotal so it stays fair.

How do you split a bill when people owe different amounts?

Use the itemized mode. Assign each item to whoever shared it, and everyone pays only for what they had, plus their proportional slice of tax and tip.
