    Splitting a receipt by item

    An even split is unfair when one person had a salad and another had steak and wine. Splitting by item fixes that: each person pays for what they ordered, plus their proportional share of tax, tip and any discount.

    Scan a receipt and every line becomes an item with a price. Tap the people who had it. If three of you shared a pizza, tap all three and the price is divided between you. Choose All for things everyone shared, like bread for the table.

    How tax and tip are shared

    Extra charges are spread in proportion to what each person ordered. Someone whose items came to 40% of the food pays 40% of the tax and tip. Rounding cents always go to someone, so the totals add up to the last cent.

    No camera handy?

    Use the Quick expense tab to enter the total and split it evenly, by shares or by exact amounts. See also how to split a receipt item by item and how to split a restaurant bill.

    Questions, answered

    How do I split a receipt item by item?

    Add the people at the table, scan the receipt, then tap who had each item. Shared items are divided between the people you tap. Tax, tip and discounts are shared in proportion to what each person ordered, and the calculator lists who pays whom.

    How are tax and tip split on a receipt?

    In proportion to each person's items, not equally. If your items are a third of the food total, you carry a third of the tax and tip.

    What if the scan misreads an item?

    You can correct any name or price before assigning it. If the photo is unreadable, your free scan is not used, so you can retake it.

    How does the expense calculator work out who owes whom?

    For each person it adds up what they paid and what their share of every expense was. The difference is their balance. It then matches the person who owes the most with the person who is owed the most, again and again, so the group settles in as few payments as possible. It is the same method the Slyce app uses.

    Can I split an expense unevenly?

    Yes. Under "For whom?" choose Evenly, Shares or Amounts. Shares lets one person count double (for example someone who ordered twice as much), and Amounts lets you type exactly what each person owes, as long as it adds up to the total.

    Can I split a receipt item by item?

    Yes, once. Scan a receipt and the calculator reads every item for you, then you tap who had each one. Tax, tip and discounts are shared in proportion to what each person had. You get one free scan per visitor here; the Slyce app scans as many receipts as you like.

    Is my data stored anywhere?

    No. Everything you type stays in your browser. If you scan a receipt, the photo is read and discarded, never saved. A shared link carries the split inside the link itself, so only the people you send it to can see it.

    What about expenses in different currencies?

    The calculator works in one currency per calculation. If your group paid in several currencies, the Slyce app converts each expense at the daily rate and settles everyone in one currency.

    How is this different from the Slyce app?

    The calculator is for a quick, one-off settle-up on this page. The app keeps the tally for the whole trip or flat, lets friends add their own expenses and claim their items from a link, shows each person's payment details, and tracks who has paid.
