How to split a restaurant bill
The fastest way to split evenly: take the bill total, add the tip (18–20% is standard in the US), and divide by the number of people. The calculator above does exactly that — including the tip — so no one has to do mental math at the table.
But splitting evenly isn't always fair. If one person had a three-course meal and another just had a salad, an even split means the light eater overpays. That's where splitting by item comes in — and doing it by hand is exactly the tedious part SplitVibe removes.
Split by item — without the receipt math
Instead of typing every line in, scan the receipt with SplitVibe and it reads the items for you. Assign each one to whoever ordered it, split shared plates between several people, and let the app allocate tax and tip proportionally. Everyone sees the same breakdown, and you can share a session code so the whole table has a record.
