Bill Splitter: The Easy Way to Share Expenses with Friends

Managing shared expenses with friends or family can be tricky—especially when you’re dealing with multiple items, different tax rates, and additional service charges. That’s where the Bill Splitter tool comes in, simplifying the process and helping everyone pay their fair share with just a few clicks.

What Is Bill Splitter?

The Bill Splitter is a simple, user-friendly web tool that helps you divide up a bill among multiple people. Whether you’re out at a restaurant, splitting a shopping bill, or sharing a travel expense, this tool helps you calculate how much each person owes after considering the bill total, tax percentage, and any additional service charges. It’s designed to take the hassle out of splitting bills and ensure accuracy.

How Does It Work?

The tool is divided into several sections to make the process easy to follow:

1. Bill Title (Optional): You can add a title to your bill, like “Dinner at Joe’s” or “Trip to the Movies.” This step is optional, but it helps organize your expenses.
2. Items: You can add any items you want to include in the bill. For each item, you enter:
   • The name of the item (e.g., “Pizza,” “Movie Ticket”).
   • The cost of the item (e.g., $20, $15).
   If there are multiple items, you can easily add more by clicking the “Add Item” button.
3. People: This section lets you add the names of the people who will be sharing the bill. You enter each person’s name in a field. The more people you add, the easier it is to split the total cost evenly among everyone. Again, you can add more people by clicking “Add Person.”
4. Tax and Service Charge: Taxes and service charges are part of many bills. In this section, you can enter:
   • The tax percentage (e.g., 8%).
   • The service charge percentage (e.g., 10%).
   These percentages will automatically be added to the total bill, so you don’t have to calculate them manually.
5. Split Bill: After entering all the necessary information, you click the “Split Bill” button. The tool calculates the total bill (including tax and service charges), divides the amount by the number of people, and gives you the exact amount each person needs to pay. The result is displayed in two tables:
   • The first table shows the breakdown of the bill, including the total amount, tax, service charge, and the amount each person needs to pay.
   • The second table lists each person’s name alongside the amount they need to contribute.
6. Sharing the Result: Once you have the result, you can easily share it with your group. There’s a “Share Result” button that allows you to send the bill split details via a link. You can either share the link directly using the Web Share API (if supported by your device) or copy it to your clipboard to send it manually. This makes it convenient to share the details without having to manually send the information to everyone.
7. Reset Form: If you need to start over or enter a new bill, you can click the “Reset” button. This clears all the inputs and allows you to enter a new set of items, people, and charges.

Why Use Bill Splitter?

• Simplicity: The tool is straightforward to use. You don’t need to be a math expert or use a calculator to figure out how much each person owes.
