About Split Calculator

Money between friends should feel effortless

Split Calculator is a small, independent team building a free, private bill splitter and practical guides for sharing costs fairly.

Who We Are

A small, independent team behind a free tool

Split Calculator is a small, independent team of builders and writers. We make one thing well: a free, private split calculator that turns shared costs into a short, fair list of payments, plus the guides that explain how splitting works.

We are not a bank, a payment app or a lender. We do not hold money, process payments or sell data. The calculator runs in your browser, and what you type stays on your device.

Our Story

Why we built Split Calculator

Split Calculator started with a familiar problem: a weekend away, a shared spreadsheet nobody wanted to open, and a group chat full of half-remembered receipts. Every app we tried wanted an account, an email address, or a subscription before it would do some simple arithmetic. So we built the tool we wanted.

We launched in 2026 with one rule: a person should be able to open the page and get a fair answer in under a minute, with nothing to install and nothing to sign up for. Since then we have added 10 currencies, translated the calculator into 18 languages, and published 14 guides on rent, trips, restaurant bills, rounding and settling up.

We care about the details: clear typography, gentle motion and an interface that feels as good on a phone at a restaurant table as it does on a laptop at home. Split Calculator is free and will stay that way; the calculator will never be locked behind a paywall.

What We Do

Tools and guides for shared costs

  • The Split Calculator

    Add people and expenses, choose who shared each cost, and see each person's share and who pays whom. Balances are netted, so a group of n people needs at most n minus 1 payments.

    Open the calculator
  • Practical guides

    Step-by-step guides on splitting rent, trips, restaurant bills, utilities and more, with formulas and worked examples.

    Read the guides
  • Local languages

    The calculator home page is available in 18 languages, including right-to-left Arabic.

Why You Can Trust Split Calculator

How we keep the numbers right

  • Exact to the cent

    The calculator works in whole cents and rounds once at the end, so every set of shares adds up to the exact total. No money is lost or created.

  • Checked examples

    Every money example in our 14 guides was recalculated so the shares add up to the stated total.

  • Private by design

    Names and amounts stay in your browser's local storage. We do not store, see or sell calculator data.

  • Honest about limits

    Our guides state their tax and tip assumptions and are educational, not financial, tax or legal advice.

Read how the calculator nets balances into fewer payments and how it handles rounding.
