How to Split a Dinner Bill

Splitting a dinner bill doesn't have to be awkward. This guide covers the most common methods so everyone pays their fair share.

Split equally

The simplest method is to split the total bill equally across everyone at the table.

This works best when everyone ordered similar items and consumed similar amounts.

In Tacth, use the equal split method and enter the total bill amount.

Split by what you ordered

If everyone ordered different items, splitting equally isn't fair. Use the exact method to assign each person's actual order cost.

Add the total bill, then assign exact amounts to each person based on what they ordered.

Tax and tip can be split proportionally or equally on top.

Handle tax and tip

Tax and tip are usually split proportionally to what each person ordered, or equally if the difference is small.

In Tacth, include tax and tip in the total amount and use the exact method to assign each person's share including their portion of tax and tip.
