How to use the bill splitter

Working out "how much each?" at a dinner or party with a calculator is surprisingly tedious. This tool takes the total and the number of people and gives the per-person amount, rounded to an easy-to-collect figure.

How to use it

Enter the total and number of people, then choose a rounding unit (such as 100). If the organizer or a senior member pays more, enter how many people pay extra and the extra amount; the remainder is split evenly among the others.

Rounding and the organizer's surplus

Rounding up when collecting makes the collected total slightly larger than the bill. This surplus stays with the organizer, so it can serve as a collecting fee or roll over to next time. Choose "1" rounding to make the surplus zero.

Frequently asked questions

How is rounding handled?
+
The per-person amount is rounded up to the unit you choose (1, 100 or 1000).

Because the collected total then slightly exceeds the bill, the surplus stays with the organizer.
How are uneven shares (people who pay more) calculated?
+
Enter how many people pay extra and the extra amount per person. That total is subtracted first, and the remainder is split evenly among the other participants.
What is the organizer's surplus or shortfall?
+
It is the collected total minus the actual bill.

A positive number is a surplus left with the organizer; with 1-yen rounding it becomes zero.
Is the amount I enter stored?
+
No. All calculation happens in your browser, and the amounts you enter are never sent to or stored on a server.
Who should cover the rounding remainder?
+
There is no fixed rule, but it is common for the organizer to keep the small surplus as a collecting fee, or to pay a little more.

Agreeing in advance avoids disputes.
How it is calculated
・Standard per person = ⌈(total − extra total) ÷ standard people ÷ unit⌉ × unit (rounded up)
・Extra total = people paying extra × extra amount per person
・Collected total = standard per person × standard people + extra payers' total
・Organizer's balance = collected total − bill total
※ Rounding and uneven-share logic follow common practice and are this site's own implementation.
