Getting started

Split your first bill

1 min read

SplitFair splits a bill by who ordered what, not by an even headcount. Here's the whole flow, start to settled.

1. Start a new bill

From the Bills screen, tap the button to add a new bill. Give it a name you'll recognize later — "Dinner at Luigi's", "Saturday groceries" — so it's easy to find in your library.

2. Add the people

Add everyone who's sharing the bill. Each person gets their own color and initials so they're easy to tell apart at a glance while you assign items.

3. Enter the items

Add each line from the receipt with its price. You don't need to enter a total — SplitFair always computes totals for you, so there's nothing to keep in sync.

4. Assign who had what

Tap an item, then tap the people who ordered it:

  • One person — the whole item goes to them.
  • Two or more — the item is split evenly between just those people.

5. Add tax and tip

On the totals screen, enter the tax and choose a tip. SplitFair prorates both across each person by their share of the items.

6. Settle up

Everyone's total is shown, and the per-person amounts always add up to the exact grand total. Hand the phone around, and you're done.
