Why itemised
Equal splits are not fair splits.
Dividing a restaurant bill equally is a habit, not a fair outcome. Whoever ordered the cheapest item subsidises everyone else. Itemised splitting fixes that without the awkwardness of doing it on a napkin.
Itemised split
Same $84 bill. Salad eater pays for their salad, the steak eater pays for the steak, shared starters split among everyone. Each person pays what they actually ate.

Guide
The fair way to split a restaurant bill
What is an itemised bill split?
An itemised bill split is a method of dividing a group bill by what each person actually ordered, instead of dividing the total equally among everyone. It is the fairest way to settle a restaurant or café bill where people ordered different things at different prices. Tax and service charge are distributed proportionally so that someone who ordered a $40 main course pays a larger share of tax than someone who ordered a $10 starter.
When equal splits make sense
Equal splits work when everyone ordered roughly the same thing or when the group has agreed up front to share. A pizza for the table, a round of cocktails, or a shared starter are all good candidates for equal splitting within that line item. Split-Bizz lets you mix the two — assign shared items to everyone and individual items to one person — so each component of the bill is settled the right way.
How to handle tax and service charge
Tax (GST, VAT, sales tax) and a service charge are added on top of the subtotal in most countries. In an itemised split, you should distribute these in proportion to each item's price, not split them equally. Split-Bizzdoes this automatically: enter the tax total once and each person's share is recalculated so their total includes the right slice of tax.
Splitting bills across currencies
When you eat out abroad or split a meal with friends in another country, currency formatting matters.Split-Bizz supports nine major currencies with locale-correct formatting — US Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Indian Rupee, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Singapore Dollar, UAE Dirham, and Japanese Yen — so the amounts you show your friends look the way they expect.
Settling up after the split
Split-Bizzshows each person's exact amount, but it does not move money. To settle up, copy the summary to a group chat or share the link, then have each person send their share via your preferred payment app (UPI, Venmo, PayPal, bank transfer, cash). Because there are no accounts to maintain,Split-Bizz stays out of the payment loop.
Edge cases the itemised method handles
A few situations where itemised splits beat equal splits cleanly: someone arrives late and only orders dessert, two people share a starter, one person stays sober and skips the wine, the table orders an extra dish that not everyone wanted, or the bill includes a discount applied to specific items. In every case, Split-Bizz attributes cost to the people who actually consumed each item.
FAQ
Common questions
What is an itemised bill split?
An itemised bill split divides a group bill by what each person actually ordered, instead of dividing the total equally. If one person had a steak and a cocktail and another had a salad and tap water, each pays for their own — including a fair share of tax and service charge — rather than averaging it out.
How does Split-Bizz split a bill?
Split-Bizz works in four steps: add the people at the table, enter each item with its price and quantity, tap who shared each item, and view the per-person total. Tax and service charge are distributed in proportion to what each person consumed. You can also upload a photo of the receipt and the AI will fill in the items automatically.
Do I need to sign up or download an app?
No. Split-Bizz runs in your web browser. There is no signup, no account, and no app to install. Your bill data stays on your device unless you choose to share a summary link.
Is Split-Bizz free?
Yes, Split-Bizz is free to use with no ads and no in-app purchases. There is no premium tier — all features, including AI receipt scanning, are available to everyone.
What currencies does Split-Bizz support?
Split-Bizz supports US Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Indian Rupee, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Singapore Dollar, UAE Dirham, and Japanese Yen. You can switch currency at the top of the split page, and the formatting follows each currency's local convention.
How is Split-Bizz different from Splitwise?
Splitwise is designed for ongoing balances between friends, roommates, or travel groups — it tracks who owes whom across many transactions. Split-Bizz is purpose-built for a single bill at a restaurant or café, where you want a per-item split without creating accounts or maintaining a long-term ledger. You finish a split in under a minute and share the result.
Can Split-Bizz scan a receipt photo?
Yes. On the items step, tap "Upload receipt" and choose a photo. Split-Bizz uses Google's Gemini AI to extract item names, prices, quantities, and tax. You can edit anything the AI gets wrong before assigning items to people.
How does Split-Bizz handle tax and service charge?
Enter the total tax (GST, VAT, sales tax, or service charge) once. Split-Bizz distributes it across each item in proportion to that item's price, so a person who ordered more pays a proportionally larger share of the tax. The per-person total you see already includes the tax distribution.
Can I split a bill where some items were shared by multiple people?
Yes. Tap multiple people under a single item to mark them as sharers. Split-Bizz divides that item's cost equally among the selected people. Different items can have different sets of sharers, so an appetiser shared by everyone and a main course ordered by one person are both handled correctly.
Does my data leave my device?
Bill data is stored locally in your browser by default. If you tap "Share link" on the summary, Split-Bizz creates a short URL pointing to a saved copy on the server so you can send it to the group. Receipt photos are sent to Google's Gemini API for analysis and are not stored by Split-Bizz.
Can I share the split with the group?
Yes. From the summary, you can copy the breakdown as text, share a link that opens the same split in someone else's browser, or print/save it as PDF. Anyone with the link can view the breakdown.
What if I add or remove a person after assigning items?
Split-Bizz updates the assignment automatically. Removing a person removes them from every item they were sharing. Adding a person leaves existing assignments intact — you just tap them under the items they shared.
