Monthly bills

See what each person owes on a total you type

A total split by the number of people you type.

  • Calculated from what you enter
  • About 2 minutes
  • Easy

The short version

  • For someone who already has the details in hand.
  • Divide a total by a count of people you type.
  • It is not a decision about what you should buy, sign, or qualify for.

The moment

A bill is shared. You type the total and how many people. The page splits it.

After this, you can see what each person owes on a total you type.

Your guess first

These numbers are an illustration, not a store price. Total 36.00; People 3.

Why the number hides

A shared bill shows one total. Each share is that total divided by the people you type.

Now run your own numbers

Do this next

  1. Type the total.
  2. Type how many people share it.
  3. Read one share.
  4. Decide what to do with a leftover cent.
  5. This page does not collect the money.

Who this will not work for

  • Uneven shares.
  • Tax or a tip, unless you folded them into the total.
  • A ruling about who should pay.

A pitfall

Rounding to the nearest cent can leave the shares a cent short or over. This page does not assign that cent.

How this was calculated

The total is split by the people, to the nearest cent.

This is arithmetic on the numbers you type. It doesn't check store prices.
