Questions people ask
How do I split a bill fairly?
Split evenly when everyone ordered about the same. If a few people had drinks or extra dishes, take those out first and add them to those people’s shares.
Should the tip be split evenly?
Usually it goes in proportion to what each person had, which is what this does: the tip is added to the extras too.
What about tax?
Use the bill total including tax; it is shared the same way.
