Frequently Asked Questions
How does the balance indicator work?
The balance is the grand total minus the sum of all per-person amounts. When the balance reaches zero the indicator shows Balanced, meaning every dollar has been assigned to someone.
Can I split the bill unevenly?
Yes. Click Split Evenly to start with an equal division, then manually edit individual amounts to reflect a custom split. The balance indicator updates in real time as you adjust.
What does the items field do?
The items field is a free-text note for each person — for example "milk, eggs, bread". It does not affect the calculation but is included in the CSV and JSON exports so everyone can see what they are paying for.
How do I import a previous session?
Click Import and select a JSON file you exported earlier. The receipt name, totals, and all per-person entries will be restored exactly as they were.
Can I use this for other shared expenses?
The calculator works for any bill with a subtotal, optional tax, and optional tip. Restaurant bills, household supplies, utility payments, and group purchases all fit the same structure.
What happens when the balance is negative?
A negative balance means the assigned amounts exceed the grand total. This can happen if you use Split Evenly and then raise individual amounts. Reduce one or more person's share until the balance returns to zero.
