    How the Expense Split Calculator Works

    This expense split calculator helps divide shared costs between 2 to 5 people. Add each expense, select who paid, choose whether the cost should be split equally or customized by person, and the calculator will show each person's total paid, fair share, and net balance.

    For example, if one person pays for dinner and another pays for gas, the calculator compares both payments and recommends the simplest way to settle up.
