Split Bill Calculator
Usage Tips
Split the bill by conditions when equal payment is not fair
If someone joined late, did not drink alcohol, or should be excluded from payment for a birthday or special situation, simply dividing the total by the number of people may not be fair. Enter the total amount and participants, reflect each personβs conditions, then share the final settlement result.

FAQ
Q.How do I split alcohol costs only among drinkers?
Set alcohol amount, then mark drinkers. Alcohol is allocated only across non-excluded drinkers with participation-rate weights.
Q.Can I handle someone who joined late?
Yes. Reduce that person's participation rate (for example 50% or 75%) so both common and alcohol shares scale down.
Q.Can I exclude a birthday person or guest?
Yes. Excluded participants are removed from common/alcohol sharing and rounding reconciliation.
Q.How does rounding work?
Each amount is rounded to the selected unit, then any remainder is redistributed to eligible participants so the final sum matches total amount.
Q.Can I copy the split result?
Yes. The copy output includes per-person amounts, total, and a short calculation basis note.
