Split Bill Calculator

For situations where different people spend different amounts, you can use the custom splitting function. First enter the total amount, then select the "Custom Split" option and set the consumption amount or proportion for each person. The calculator will automatically calculate how much each person should pay based on these inputs. This method is suitable for dining situations where some people order expensive dishes and others order cheaper ones, or when each person purchases different items in a group buy.

There are two methods to calculate bill splitting including tip: 1) Total amount method: directly include the tip when entering the total amount, then proceed with normal splitting calculation; 2) Percentage method: enter the bill amount without tip, then enter the tip percentage (e.g., 15%) in the tip field, the calculator will automatically calculate the total amount with tip and split it. If the tip amount is known, you can also directly enter the specific value in the tip amount field. Regardless of which method is used, the calculation result will display how much each person should pay including tip.

To handle situations where some people need to pay extra fees, you can use the following methods: 1) Separate calculation: separate the common consumption part and extra fees, first calculate the per-person sharing amount for the common part, then add the extra fees to the corresponding people; 2) Custom splitting: use the custom splitting function to set higher splitting proportion or amount for people who need to pay extra fees; 3) Adjust final amount: after calculating the basic per-person sharing amount, manually adjust the amount for people who need to pay extra fees in the final result. This situation is common when some people ordered special dishes, alcoholic beverages, or need to pay service fees separately.

To handle situations where some people have prepaid part of the amount, you can use the following methods: 1) Deduction method: deduct the already prepaid amount from the total amount, then split the remaining amount; 2) Offset method: calculate how much each person should pay normally, then deduct the prepaid part from the prepaying person's payable amount; 3) Reallocation: treat the prepaid amount as a loan from the prepaying person to all other people, in the final settlement, other people need to repay this part of the amount proportionally. Regardless of which method is used, you should clearly record the prepaid amount and the final actual payable amount for each person to avoid confusion.
