Bill Splitter
Split it fairly — so the person who had a salad isn’t paying for someone else’s steak.

Who is at the table
What was ordered
Tax and tip
The usual way, and the smaller amount — tax isn’t money the restaurant keeps.
$0.00 of items, $0.00 tax, $0.00 tip
What each person pays
| Person | Items | Tax | Tip | Pays |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Person 1 | $0.00 | $0.00 | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Person 2 | $0.00 | $0.00 | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Total | $0.00 | $0.00 | $0.00 | $0.00 |
Tax and tip are shared in proportion to what each person ordered, not divided evenly. Where a division does not come out to whole cents, the odd one goes to the largest remaining fraction, so the column adds to the bill exactly rather than being a $0.01 out.
Send it round
The whole bill — items, who had what, tax and tip — is packed into the link itself. Nothing is stored on a server, so the link cannot expire and there is no copy of the evening's order anywhere but in the message you send.

How to use it
List each item on the bill and tap who had it. Everyone pays for what they ordered, with tax and tip shared fairly. Share the split with one link.
Enter each item and its price, then tap who had it. Shared a bottle of wine three ways? Tap all three. Anything nobody is tapped on — like bread or water — is shared by everyone.
Tax and tip are shared by what each person ordered, not split evenly. So the person with the $12 salad doesn’t pay the same tip as the person with the $48 steak.
Tip is worked out on the bill before tax by default, which is the usual way. Card machines often suggest tip on the total after tax, which is why their numbers look high — there’s a switch if you prefer that.
Send the link at the bottom to everyone at the table. They’ll see the same breakdown and can find their own line. The whole bill is stored in the link, so nothing is saved anywhere and it never expires.
FAQ
How do you split a bill when everyone ordered different things?
Enter each item and tap who had it. Everyone pays for their own order plus a fair share of tax and tip.
Should tip be worked out before or after tax?
Usually before. Card machines often suggest it after tax, which is why their amounts look high.
How are tax and tip shared?
By what each person ordered. If you had a third of the food, you pay a third of the tax and tip.
Can several people share one item?
Yes. Tap everyone who had it.
Can I send the split to everyone?
Yes. Share the link at the bottom. Everyone sees the same breakdown, and nothing is saved anywhere.
Why does one person pay a cent more?
The total didn’t divide evenly, so the spare cent went to someone so it adds up exactly.
How it worksFor the curious
Each item is divided between the people ticked, in whole cents; odd cents go to the largest remaining fractions so individual amounts always sum to the bill exactly. Tax and tip are apportioned in proportion to each person’s ordered subtotal using the same exact method, so every column adds up on its own.
Tipping post-tax tips on money the restaurant never receives: with 9% sales tax, a 20% post-tax tip is closer to 21.8% of the food.
The share link encodes items, assignments, tax, and tip in the URL, so it cannot expire and there is no stored copy. A long bill makes a long link.
